The Large Porta Thermal 20 Litre Vaccine Bag:
 
Designed to carry medium loads for community outreach, emergency medical and search and rescue, this medium capacity 20 litre vaccine carry bag keep vaccines and temperature-sensitive medicines in cold chain for up to 7 hours. Depending on the number of coolant packs in use, the Porta Thermal Cold Chain 20l vaccine bag has capacity for up to 120HPV packs. They are most commonly in use for community immunisation programmes, ad hoc vaccinations, search and rescue teams, emergency service teams, and paramedics, and for the safe and secure transfer of medication between wards or hospitals in a district.
 
These bags are in use across the globe with community medical teams and are market-leading in design and format. The bags are durable and field-tested to withstand everyday use, have a wipe-clean, infection control design and material, and are effective at keeping medication and vaccines in cold chain for extended periods of time. The standard 20 litre vaccine bag is designed to be carried by an individual, or also includes ladder handles for carrying by two people of different heights. There is also an option with an integrated trolley for full capacity heavy loads if preferred. 
 
The new updated 2020 version builds on the heritage of our original thermal bag but brings improvements including durability, infection control properties, insulation and handling.
