Immediately before use, the vaccine is diluted with a solvent (water for injections) at the rate of 0.5 ml of solvent per vaccination dose of the vaccine. To avoid foaming, the vaccine is dissolved by gently rocking the ampoule. The vaccine should completely dissolve within 3 minutes. The dissolved vaccine is a clear liquid of pink color. Vaccine and solvent in ampoules with broken integrity, marking, and also when their physical properties (color, transparency, etc.), incorrectly stored, are not suitable for use.
Opening of ampoules and the vaccination procedure are carried out with strict adherence to aseptic and antiseptic rules. Ampoule at the point of incision is treated with 70 ° alcohol and breaks, not allowing the alcohol to enter the ampoule. To dilute the vaccine, take all the necessary volume of the solvent and transfer it to an ampoule with a dry vaccine. After mixing, the vaccine is taken up by another needle in a sterile syringe and used for vaccination.
The vaccine is administered only subcutaneously in a dose of 0.5 ml in the shoulder region (at the border between the lower and middle third of the shoulder from the outside), after preliminary treatment of the skin at the injection site of the 70 ° ethyl alcohol.
The dissolved vaccine is used immediately and is not subject to storage.
The vaccination is recorded in the prescribed registration forms with the name of the preparation, the date of vaccination, the dose, the manufacturer, the serial number, the expiration date, the response to the vaccination.
Precautions for use
