Method of Administration: For intramuscular use only. Do not inject intravascularly.
The preferred site for injection is the anterolateral aspect of the thigh in infants or the deltoid muscle of the upper arm in children and adults. The vaccine should not be injected in the gluteal area or areas where there may be a major nerve trunk and/or blood vessel.
VAXNEUVANCE should not be diluted or mixed with other vaccines. The full recommended dose of the vaccine should be used.
When VAXNEUVANCE is administered at the same time as another injectable vaccine(s), the vaccines should always be given at different injection sites [see Use with Other Vaccines under Interactions].
Because this product is a suspension containing an adjuvant, hold horizontally and shake vigorously immediately prior to use to obtain an opalescent suspension in the vaccine container. Do not use the vaccine if it cannot be resuspended. Parenteral drug products should be inspected visually for particulate matter and discoloration prior to administration. This product should not be used if particulate matter or discoloration is found.
The prefilled syringe is for single use only and should not be used for more than one individual. Attach a needle by twisting in a clockwise direction until the needle fits securely on the syringe. Inject the entire contents of the syringe. Exercise caution to avoid harm from an accidental needle stick.
