Dosage Forms and Strengths1
- BOOSTRIX is a suspension for injection available in 0.5-mL single-dose vials and prefilled TIP-LOK syringes
BOOSTRIX comes with a 2D barcode
- 2D barcodes contain the vaccine name, manufacturer, National Drug Code (NDC) numbers, lot number, and expiration date
- With 2D barcodes, you can update your inventory management system, patient records, and vaccination reports automatically, reducing the need for manual data entry if you have the correct scanner, hardware, and software
Preparation for Administration1
- Parenteral drug products should be inspected visually for particulate matter and discoloration prior to administration, whenever solution and container permit. Do not use the vaccine if either of these conditions exist. Shake vigorously to obtain a homogeneous, turbid, white suspension before administration. Do not use if resuspension does not occur with vigorous shaking
- For the prefilled syringes, attach a sterile needle and administer intramuscularly
- For the vials, use a sterile needle and sterile syringe to withdraw the 0.5-mL dose and administer intramuscularly. Changing needles between drawing vaccine from a vial and injecting it into a recipient is not necessary unless the needle has been damaged or contaminated
