Jordan's Ministry of Health inaugurated two vaccine cold rooms in Amman on 8 November 2026, adding 70 cubic metres of storage capacity to the country's national immunization infrastructure, according to a UNICEF Jordan press release. The facilities are intended to help preserve vaccine quality and maintain reliable supply across all governorates.

The ceremony took place at the Sera and Vaccines Section of the Communicable Diseases Directorate, with Dr. Riyadh Mohammad Al-Shayyab, Secretary General for Primary Health Care and Epidemics, Korean Ambassador Kim Pil-woo and UNICEF Representative Marc Rubin attending. Al-Shayyab described the rooms as an addition to the National Immunization Programme's infrastructure, supporting cold chain compliance from receipt through distribution.

The project was supported by the Government of the Republic of Korea. Kim said it formed part of Korea's partnership with UNICEF under the Access to COVID-19 Tools Accelerator, noting a USD 70 million contribution to the programme across 35 countries including Jordan. Rubin said stronger storage helps sustain immunization gains. The ministry said the rooms are meant to improve stock management, reduce supply disruption risk and accommodate new vaccines.
