The vaccine is injected intramuscularly into the upper outer quadrant of the gluteus muscle. It is necessary to make sure that the needle of the syringe does not penetrate into the lumen of the blood vessel. Do not administer intravenously.
Patients with thrombocytopenia and other disorders of the blood coagulation system receive the vaccine subcutaneously.
Before use, the solvent should be inspected for foreign matter. In the presence of foreign particles or change in appearance, the solvent should not be used.
Immediately before use in a vial of lyophilisate vaccine, apply a syringe solvent at a rate of 0.5 ml per dose. The ampoule is shaken well until the content is completely dissolved. The dissolution time should not exceed 3 minutes. The dissolved preparation is a clear, colorless liquid. If there are any foreign inclusions or when the color changes, the vaccine is not used.
The drug in the opened ampoule is not subject to storage.
