Strive for 5

Vaccine fridge monitoring built for ‘Strive for 5’.

Continuous 2–8°C monitoring with instant breach alerts — so your practice, pharmacy or clinic protects every dose and every record the National Vaccine Storage Guidelines expect.

The problem

What goes wrong without it.

A breach can cost the whole fridge

Vaccines that leave 2–8°C may have to be discarded — thousands of dollars of stock and cancelled patient appointments from one unnoticed excursion.

Twice-daily min/max is easy to miss

The guidelines expect temperature monitoring records every working day. Holidays, sick days and busy mornings are exactly when manual recording fails.

Cold chain breaches mean paperwork

A suspected breach triggers isolation of stock and reporting. Without continuous data, you can’t show what actually happened — so you assume the worst.

How Thermalog handles it

Built for your compliance reality.

Continuous 2–8°C monitoring

Checks every 10 seconds with instant reporting on drift — far beyond twice-daily min/max, with the target-5°C discipline the guidelines are named for.

Instant breach alerts

SMS and email the moment temperature leaves range — including overnight and weekends, when most breaches actually happen.

Records for immunisation audits

Automated temperature history and min/max reporting, exportable for practice accreditation, QCPP requirements and state health program checks.

Breach evidence, not guesswork

If an excursion occurs, the minute-by-minute record shows exactly how far and how long — the data you need for the risk assessment before discarding stock.

What one bad night costs
A coolroom of stock

Written off because a compressor died on Friday night and nobody opened the door until Saturday morning. One incident usually costs more than the system does.

Does this align with 'Strive for 5'?

Thermalog is built around the National Vaccine Storage Guidelines' requirements: continuous 2–8°C monitoring aiming for 5°C, complete temperature records, and immediate identification of cold chain breaches. It automates the monitoring and record-keeping the guidelines call for.

Will it record min/max temperatures?

Yes — daily minimum and maximum are captured automatically from the continuous record and appear in your reports, replacing the manual twice-daily reading ritual.

What happens if the fridge breaches overnight?

You get an SMS within minutes of the excursion starting — not at opening time. The full record then shows duration and peak, which your cold chain breach protocol needs.

Audit-ready by next week.
