It is best practice to protect your vaccines from light. Exposure to light can reduce the potency of some vaccines. Review the storage and handling information on the package insert of your vaccines to see if a particular vaccine is sensitive to light. Best practice is to store all vaccines in their original packaging until ready for administration. Review CDC: Vaccine Storage and Handling Toolkit (PDF) for more information.
