Caution For Usage
Incompatibilities: In the absence of compatibility studies, Dengvaxia must not be mixed with any other injectable vaccine(s) or medicinal product(s).
Special precautions for disposal and other handling: Contact with disinfectants is to be avoided since they may inactivate the vaccine viruses.
Separate syringes and needles, separate injection sites and preferably separate limbs must be used if any other vaccine(s) or medicinal product(s) is/are concomitantly administered.
Dengvaxia is reconstituted by transferring all of the solvent (0.4% sodium chloride solution) provided in the blue-labeled pre-filled syringe into the vial of freeze-dried powder with a yellowish green flip-off cap. The pre-filled syringe is fitted with a sterile needle for this transfer. The vial is then gently swirled. After complete dissolution, a 0.5 mL dose of the reconstituted suspension is withdrawn into the same syringe. For injection, the syringe should be fitted with a new sterile needle.
The suspension should be visually inspected prior to administration. After reconstitution, Dengvaxia is a clear, colorless liquid with the possible presence of white to translucent particles (of endogenous nature).
After reconstitution with the solvent provided, Dengvaxia must be used immediately.
Any unused product or waste material should be disposed of, preferably by heat inactivation or incineration, in accordance with local regulations.
