Peer Review (dtbooth)
In my peer review, I would like to ask you to develop further the methods that go into vaccine storage. If this topic is an independent article rather than being a subsection of another article, it would be beneficial to know what the different methods of storage are, and why scientifically they vary between different vaccines. You mention the COVID-19 vaccines on offer within the United States, and if you would like that to be your sole focus, maybe compare the different storage techniques of each vaccine, and why one vaccine would have to be stored at a different temperature/pressured system than another. How do these vaccines compare to those offered in Europe, or across the rest of the globe? If you intend to make this topic encompass the broader topic of vaccines of many diseases, this would pertain to the design of each vaccine for their respective purpose. How would a HPV vaccine compare in its storage, or chicken pox, etc? Does the biological nature of the disease being addressed affect the nature in which the vaccine must be stored? This would be agood question to answer. Appreciate your time to read this, and great work so far! dtbooth — Preceding unsigned comment added by Dtbooth (talk • contribs) 19:51, 30 October 2021 (UTC)

Wikipedia says:

"It is important not to place vaccines near the storage unit Doors, because it affects the temperature and exposes vaccines to light, reducing potency for some vaccines".

This assumes the storage unit has glass doors?

If yes, how much less light vaccine gets if one stores the vaccines more away from the door, and the storage unit is otherwise empty? Doesn't the light reach the vaccine the same way?

Or is this light advice bullshit?
