More than 20 percent of health care providers failed to comply with COVID-19 vaccine storage and monitoring requirements set by the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), which could have led to some of the administered vaccines becoming inert.
The study, published in the Vaccine journal on Dec. 27, looked at how health care providers taking part in the CDC’s COVID-19 vaccination program complied with the agency’s standards between May 2021 and May 2023. The study found that the overall compliance rate of all providers was only 63.3 percent.
