Gestión Integral de la Cadena de Frío: Procedimientos para el almacenamiento, distribución, transporte y dispensación segura de vacunas en condiciones óptimas

Abstract

Abstract: Cold chain management is essential for preserving the quality, safety, and immuno-genicity of vaccines during storage, distribution, transport, and dispensing. The study aimed to develop a comprehensive management model to ensure the integrity of these processes through standardized procedures and technical protocols designed to maintain optimal tech-nical conditions at every stage of the logistics chain. A qualitative, non-experimental docu-mentary research design was employed. The process of identifying and selecting scientific, technical, and regulatory literature was documented in accordance with PRISMA 2020 guide-lines. The result was the design of a theoretical model proposal based on protocols for tem-perature monitoring and control, the management of temperature deviations, and the training of responsible personnel. It was concluded that integrating scientific evidence and regulatory standards enabled the development of a technical proposal that coordinated cold chain pro-cedures. Furthermore, the integration of scientific evidence and current regulations allowed for the structuring of a technical proposal that systematizes procedures and guidelines for vaccine cold chain management, based on the analyzed evidence and standards.
