-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Information intended exclusively for professional medical personnel:
Similarly to all vaccines administered by injection, it is always necessary to ensure the possibility of appropriate treatment and medical supervision in the event of rare post-vaccination anaphylactic reactions.
Alcohol, as well as other disinfectants, should evaporate from the skin before administering the vaccine, as they can inactivate the attenuated viruses present in the vaccine.
Varilrix vaccines should never be administered intravascularly or intradermally.
This medicinal product should not be mixed with other medicinal products, as compatibility studies have not been performed.
The solvent and the vaccine after reconstitution should be visually inspected. Due to minor pH differences, the vaccine after reconstitution may have a color ranging from light peach to pinkish fuchsia. After reconstitution, semi-transparent particles of the product may be visible.
This is a normal phenomenon and does not affect the efficacy of the vaccine.

If the vaccine has a different color or contains other solid particles, it should not be administered.

The vaccine should be reconstituted by adding the entire solvent from the ampoule to the vial with the powder. The vial should be shaken vigorously until the powder is completely dissolved.
The entire contents of the vial should be drawn back.
A new needle should be used for vaccine administration.
The vaccine should be administered immediately after reconstitution.
However, it has been shown that the reconstituted vaccine can be stored for up to 90 minutes at room temperature (25°C) or up to 8 hours in the refrigerator (at a temperature of 2°C – 8°C). If the reconstituted vaccine is not used within the recommended time or has not been stored under recommended conditions, it should be discarded.
Any unused medicinal product or waste should be disposed of in accordance with local regulations.
