Several items in a pediatric setting require refrigeration, including:
- Vaccines: Vaccines are highly sensitive to temperature changes. For instance, the MMR vaccine and influenza vaccine must be stored within a specific temperature range to remain effective. - Antibiotics: Some liquid antibiotics, such as amoxicillin and cephalexin, need to be refrigerated to maintain their potency. - Specialized nutritional products: Certain infant formulas and nutritional supplements require refrigeration to preserve their quality.
