Pharmaceutical industry belongs to multidisciplinary high-tech industry groups, in public health, social stability and economic development. In recent years, pharmaceutical industry of China gets rapid development, particularly in pharmaceutical cold chain logistics industry, such as vaccines, blood products. For example, such as vaccine, SARS (Severe Acute Respiratory Syndromes) epidemic has stimulated the demand for flu vaccine in China. In 2002, the consumption of flu vaccine was less than 500 million; however, in 2004, it broke through 1,500 million. While the central government devoted 2.72 billion yuan and 29.2 billion yuan into the special funds of national immunization programs in 2007 and 2008, respectively, and the amount is equivalent to about 10 times of that of 2006. It shows that the pharmaceutical cold chain logistics industry has broad space for development.Cold chain is a special form of the supply chain. It begins in supply of raw materials, through processing, warehousing, distribution, marketing and other aspects, and finish in consumption. All aspects of it are always under prescriptive low temperature environment, in order to ensure quality of drugs. As pharmaceutical cold chain products have strict requirements in temperature and time, their management lies in control of cold environment of the entire chain. So far, pharmaceutical manufacturers and pharmaceutical logistics companies should throw into deep research on integrity of cold chain for cold medicines (particularly in vaccines) during storage and transportation, and security of channel management of cold medicines.This article aims to discuss with development of pharmaceutical cold chain logistics industry, from point of view of medicines (a special commodity), and analysis drug safety issues, and characteristics, development status, development environment of cold chain of medicines, then point out some misunderstanding of pharmaceutical cold chain. It analyses cold chain of X pharmaceutical cold chain logistics enterprise, with the starting point of pharmaceutical cold chain. Then it tries to optimize the pharmaceutical cold chain, based on the RFID technology, by resolving some problems of it, in order to improve quality of cold chain logistics, thereby increase drug quality, and get satisfaction of end-consumer.
