Please reply.

The mere lack of electricity for about 4 hours is not a reason to believe that the effectiveness of the drug could have been reduced. However, I would like to point out that the vaccine should not be stored in a heat-insulating bag. Such a bag is used only for transporting the drug. In the refrigerator, the drug should be stored in the original packaging, without a thermal bag. Due to the fact that the drug was stored incorrectly, its effectiveness may not have been maintained. In such a situation, the drug should be disposed of. I attach a link to a helpful post: https://www.gdziepolek.pl/artykuly/jak-przechowywac-leki
