Vaccine Information: Typhim Vi (Page 3 of 4)

Solicited Injection Site and Systemic Reactions When Given With Menactra Vaccine

The majority (70%-77%) of solicited injection site reactions at the Typhim Vi and at the Menactra injection sites were reported as Grade 1 and resolved within 3 days post-vaccination. The most common systemic reactions were headache (41% when Menactra and Typhim Vi were given concomitantly; 42% when Typhim Vi was given with Placebo, and 33% when Menactra vaccine was given alone one month after Typhim Vi vaccination) and fatigue (38% when Menactra vaccine and Typhim Vi were given concomitantly; 35% when Typhim Vi was given with Placebo, and 27% when Menactra vaccine was given alone one month after Typhim Vi vaccination). Fever ≥40.0°C and seizures were not reported.

Data From Worldwide Post-marketing Experience

In addition to reports in clinical trials, worldwide voluntary adverse events reports received since market introduction of Typhim Vi vaccine are listed below. This list includes serious events and/or events which were included based on severity, frequency of reporting or a plausible causal connection to Typhim Vi vaccine. Because these events were reported voluntarily from a population of uncertain size, it is not possible to reliably estimate their frequency or establish a causal relationship to vaccination.

  • Gastrointestinal disorders
    Nausea, vomiting, diarrhea, abdominal pain
  • General disorders and administration site condition
    Injection site pain, inflammation, induration, and erythema; lymphadenopathy, fever, asthenia, malaise, flu-like episode
  • Immune system disorders
    Anaphylaxis, allergic-type reactions such as pruritus, rash, urticaria, angioedema, difficulty breathing, hypotension; serum sickness
  • Musculoskeletal and connective tissue disorders
    Myalgia, arthralgia, cervical pain
  • Nervous system disorders
    Syncope with and without convulsions, headache, loss of consciousness, tremor
  • Respiratory system disordersAsthma

Additional Adverse Events

Post-marketing reports of glomerulonephritis, neutropenia, bilateral retinitis, and polyarthritis have been reported in patients who had also received other vaccines; however, a causal relationship has not been established.

Reporting of Adverse Events

Reporting by parents and patients of all adverse events occurring after vaccine administration should be encouraged. Adverse events following immunization with vaccine should be reported by the health-care provider to the US Department of Health and Human Services (DHHS) Vaccine Adverse Event Reporting System (VAERS). Reporting forms and information about reporting requirements or completion of the form can be obtained from VAERS through a toll-free number 1-800-822-7967 or visit the VAERS website at http//www.vaers.org. (17)

Health-care providers also should report these events to the Pharmocovigilance Department, Sanofi Pasteur Inc., Discovery Drive, Swiftwater, PA 18370, or call 1-800-822-2463.

DOSAGE AND ADMINISTRATION

For intramuscular use only.

Dosage

The immunizing dose for adults and children is a single injection of 0.5 mL.

A reimmunizing dose is 0.5 mL. Reimmunization consisting of a single dose for US travelers every two years under conditions of repeated or continued exposure to the S typhi organism is recommended at this time. (14)

Preparation for Administration

The syringe or vial and its packaging should be inspected prior to use for evidence of leakage, premature activation of the plunger, or a faulty tip seal. If any of these conditions exists, do NOT administer the vaccine.

  • Syringe

The syringe is intended for single use only, must not be reused, and must be disposed of properly and promptly following its use.

  • Vial

Tear off upper seal of vial cap. Cleanse top of rubber stopper of the vial with a suitable antiseptic.

Use a separate sterile syringe and needle or a sterile disposable unit for each individual patient to prevent the transmission of infectious agents from person to person. Needles should not be recapped and should be properly disposed.

Administration

Parenteral drug products should be inspected visually for particulate matter and discoloration prior to administration, whenever solution and container permit. If any of this conditions exists, do NOT administer the vaccine.

In adults, the intramuscular injection is typically given in the deltoid. In children, the intramuscular injection is given either in the deltoid or the anterolateral thigh.

Do NOT inject this vaccine into the gluteal area or areas where there may be a nerve trunk.

Do NOT inject intravenously.
