Vaccine Vial Monitors (VVMs) are a part of the label attached on Euvichol-Plus supplied through EuBiologics Co., Ltd. The color dot which appears on the label of the vaccine is a VVM. This is a time-temperature sensitive dot that provides an indication of the cumulative heat to which the vaccine has been exposed. It warns the end user when exposure to heat is likely to have degraded the vaccine beyond an acceptable level.
The interpretation of the VVM is simple. Focus on the central square. Its color will change progressively. As long as the color of this square is lighter than the color of the ring, the vaccine can be used. As soon as the color of the central square is the same color as the ring or of a darker color than the ring, the vaccine should be discarded.
Shelf-Life: The suspension can be used within 24 months form the date of manufactured if kept as recommended.
