Methods of administration
Prefilled syringe of diluent
To reconstitute the vaccine, inject all of the diluent (0.7 mL) in the
prefilled syringe into
the vial of lyophilized vaccine and gently agitate to mix thoroughly.
Withdraw the entire
contents into the syringe and inject the total volume (about 0.5 mL)
of reconstituted
vaccine subcutaneously, preferably into the outer aspect of the upper
arm (deltoid
region) or the anterolateral thigh.
IT IS RECOMMENDED THAT THE VACCINE BE
ADMINISTERED IMMEDIATELY AFTER RECONSTITUTION, TO MINIMIZE LOSS OF
POTENCY. DISCARD IF RECONSTITUTED VACCINE IS NOT USED WITHIN 30
MINUTES.
Do not freeze reconstituted vaccine.
Parenteral drug products should be inspected visually for particulate
matter and
discoloration prior to administration, whenever solution and container
permit. Before
reconstitution, the lyophilized vaccine is a white compact crystalline
plug. VARIVAX
