A study was carried out in Tabora region to determine the magnitude of exposure of vaccines to adverse temperatures using the Cold Chain Monitors (CCMs). Except for refrigerators in the regional hospital, almost all refrigerators were found to be exposed to adverse temperature. The RAK type of refrigerators were found to be more exposed to adverse temperature than the RCW type. While an alternative type of refrigerator suitable for tropical countries is being sought there is a need of focusing more attention on improving cold chain system in the peripheral facilities.
在塔博拉地区开展了一项研究，以使用冷链监测器（CCM）确定疫苗暴露于不利温度的程度。除了地区医院的冰箱外，几乎所有冰箱都被发现暴露于不利温度下。发现RAK型冰箱比RCW型冰箱更容易暴露于不利温度。在寻找适合热带国家的替代型冰箱的同时，需要更加关注改善周边设施的冷链系统。
