Post I have never seen

a vaccine that was NOT refrigerated.

Most vaccines for children have had the thiomersal removed.

Unit dose versions of the flu vaccine are refrigerated just like the multi-dose
vials are that also have thiomersal (mercury).

Some vaccines come with a diluent...the diluent itself does not typically need
refrigeration.

Some few vaccines need to be kept frozen.

But I have never seen a vaccine that was NOT refrigerated.
