Captured in Southern Haiti in 2014, in the commune of Jacmel, inside a building at the Jacmel Depot, this image depicted a nondescript room in which three, rectangular-shaped Dometic TCW 3000 SDD solar powered, blue-colored vaccine coolers were operating. This model acts as a refrigerator at a temperature of 5^°C (41^°F), or as a freezer at a temperature of -20^°C (-4^°F). Being that it they were solar powered, they were not dependent upon the undependable Haitian power grid. In this efficient manner, vaccines to be disseminated throughout the Haitian population, could be kept fresh prior to their usage.
