transporting vaccines or healthcare products at desired temperatures from the point of manufacture to the point of use (FedEx, 2020). Therefore, according to Asamoah et al.
(2021), increased vaccination coverage necessitates quality cold chain management systems that assure the efficient distribution of cost-effective vaccines stored at the proper temperatures.
The increased vaccination coverage benefited from the cold chain delivery system in the healthcare sector has reportedly prevented an estimate of 26 million cases of childhood disease in the United States (Pfizer, 2019). Although with the breakthrough of the cold
chain system in healthcare, it is faced with many challenges such as erratic electric power supply,
inadequate
financing, lack of adequate implementation systems, insufficient
cold chain capacity, lack of trained personnel,
inadequate storage facilities, poor information,
communication and consumption data (Ashok et al., 2017; Oli et al., 2016; Lakew et al.,
2015; Rogie et al., 2013; WHO, 2006).
