Novavax COVID-19 Vaccine 

Storage and Beyond-Use Date Tracking Labels 

Staff can easily become confused about vaccines within the storage unit because there are so many brands and 

formulations available. Labeling the area where vaccines are stored can help staff quickly locate and choose the 

correct vaccine and prevent a vaccine administration error. The following labels are examples that may be used to help 

organize vaccines. Labels are based on recommendations from the Advisory Committee on Immunization Practices 

(ACIP) and the Food and Drug Administration authorization.

 Store between 

2C° and 8°C (36°F 

to 46°F) up to 9 

months

 Protect from light 

 Do NOT freeze. 

Vaccine Storage Best Practices 

 Use the storage labels on page 2 to help staff easily identify the vaccine. 

○ Note: Storage labels are formatted to print on 4” x 3-1/3” adhesive labels. We are unable to format for other 

size labels. 

 Depending on how vaccines are organized within the storage unit, labels can be placed on containers or bins 

or directly attached to shelves where vaccines are stored.

 Other helpful organizational strategies include color-coding labels (e.g., one color for pediatric and 

another for adult vaccines) and including additional information such as age indications or other 

information unique to the vaccine.

 Store vaccine vials in their original packaging with lids closed.
