Setting Up Vaccine Storage Units Organize refrigerators and freezers to facilitate vaccine management and reduce administration errors. Do not store vaccines until storage units have stabilized within their OK ranges for 3-5 days. MMR, MMRV, and Varicella must be stored in the freezer. Plan to store all other VFC vaccines in the refrigerator.

Diluents may be stored next to refrigerated vaccines unless manufacturer states otherwise. Never store diluents in the freezer. Store vaccines in original packaging with earliest expiration date in front. Clearly label VFC and private vaccines. Position vaccines or baskets 2-3 inches away from walls, floor, and other baskets.
