Definitely B. I mean, who would store a vaccine in the freezer or a warmer? That's just asking for trouble. The fridge is the only way to keep that varicella stuff fresh and ready to go.

I'm going with B. Storing the varicella vaccine in the fridge is the way to go. I once tried keeping it at room temp, and let's just say my patients weren't too happy with the results. Lesson learned!

But wouldn't storing it in the freezer potentially damage the vaccine? I think the refrigerator would be a safer option.

The correct answer is B, in the refrigerator at 2°C to 8°C (36°F to 46°F). Varicella vaccine needs to be stored at cold temperatures to maintain its potency. Freezing it would be too cold, and room temperature or warmer storage would degrade the vaccine.

I disagree, I believe it should be stored in the freezer, at -20cto 10c (-4F to 14F) for long-term storage.
