Dear Pediatricians on the Board,

What kind of vaccine fridge do you have? We have an medium size freezer/fridge combo with 1 setting knob for both freezer & fridge. The problem is when the setting for the fridge is good, the freezer is not cold enough, and when we get a good setting for freezer, the fridge is too cold. We then got a separate undercounter freezer for our 5 boxes of Varicella. Since space is limited, we had to put the freezer in a different room.. which as you can imagine is annoying.

I want to get a freezer/fridge combo unit with 2 separate controls that is less than 32" wide, and I was hoping for a lock too. I found some actual vaccine refrigerators. This Sanyo one is about $4800 with shipping. Does anyone have experience one of these biomedical fridge or have a good fridge/freezer with separate temp controls?

Your help is appreciated! smile
