If the problem is as widespread as the article indicates, some of the apparent ineffectiveness of vaccines could be storage-related rather than a property of the vaccine itself.

It'd be really interesting to see just how much inappropriate storage affects vaccine efficacy.

It is for the 76 percent (noted in the article) who failed to do so properly. mzmolly Jun 2012 #2
