Caution For Usage
Special precautions for disposal and other handling: The vaccine should be used as supplied.
Immediately prior to use, hold the pre-filled syringe horizontally and shake vigorously to obtain an opalescent suspension. Do not use the vaccine if it cannot be resuspended.
Inspect the suspension visually for particulate matter and discolouration prior to administration. Discard the vaccine if particulates are present and/or if it appears discoloured.
Attach a needle with Luer lock connection by twisting in a clockwise direction until the needle fits securely on the syringe.
Inject immediately using the intramuscular (IM) route, preferably in the anterolateral aspect of the thigh in infants or in the deltoid area of the upper arm in children and adults.
Exercise care to avoid harm from an accidental needle stick.
Any unused medicinal product or waste material should be disposed of in accordance with local requirements.
Incompatibilities: In the absence of compatibility studies, this vaccine must not be mixed with other medicinal products.
