Method of administration:
Immunisation must be carried out by intramuscular or nasal administration.
Reconstitute the lyophilisate with the supplied solvent. In cases where the vials containing the solvent and the lyophilisate are stored separately, verify prior to reconstituting the lyophilisate that the lot number mentioned on the vial containing the solvent is identical to the lot number mentioned on the vial containing the lyophilisate. Transfer approximately 5 ml of solvent to the vial containing the lyophilisate and ensure complete reconstitution. Transfer the reconstituted solution back into the solvent vial (containing the remaining solvent): 25 doses are reconstituted into 50 ml solvent, 50 doses are reconstituted into 100 ml solvent, and 125 doses are reconstituted into 250 ml solvent.
Dosage
Intramuscular injection: 2 ml in the neck.
Nasal administration: 2 ml administered as 1 ml in each nostril.
