Refrigerated storage (general floor)

Claim

Many vaccines, insulins, and other biologics require refrigerated storage per labeling (commonly 2°C–8°C / 36°F–46°F). Always follow the specific product labeling and pharmacy cold-chain policy — do not assume room-temp stability after a cold-chain break.

Plain

Fridge usually means 2–8 °C unless the label says otherwise. When in doubt, the package insert / pharmacy SOP wins — not memory.
