I need a special refrigerator with temperature control and possibly a back up system with it? is there such a thing? I feel like I've look everywhere and can't find one.
does anyone have one, if so can anyone please give me some contact info, thanks
It needs to be pretty big since we have a lot of vaccines

Where are you? Just did a quick google and found a few sites for the UK on fridges for vaccines. Have you tried search engines?

Medical supply companies; you can also check with the company that you are purchasing the vaccines from. They should be able to give you a list of vendors if they do not handle it directly.
I am in the US (kansas) so the UK websites really aren't going to work.
Also we get our vaccines from the state and they don't have any suggestions at this time.

Would one of those table top fridges not be OK?They have adjustable temperatures.Only thing would be they would not lock.

We also have the generic small refrigerator, with a small hand held themometer in it so that temperatures can be documented every 24 hours.
