Doctor's answer:
Hello! Polio vaccine is sensitive to heat and should be stored under low-temperature conditions. Below -20℃ for 2 years of validity, 2~8℃ for 1 year (the vaccine packaging label can only specify one storage temperature and validity period). You need to check which storage temperature is written on the outer packaging. It is recommended to take it immediately. If it must be stored, make sure to check the storage temperature written on the outer packaging and store it in a low-temperature environment.
