Storage	• Stored frozen between -25°C to -15°C (-13°F to 5°F). • Do not store on dry ice or below -40ºC (-40ºF). • Vials can be stored refrigerated between 2° to 8°C (36° to 46°F) for up to 30 days prior to first use. • Unpunctured vials may be stored between 8° to 25°C (46° to 77°F) for up to 12 hours. • Do not refreeze once thawed.	• Prior to dilution, store at -80°C to -60°C (-112°F to -76°F). • After dilution, store the vaccine at 2°C to 25°C (35°F to 77°F). • Discard after 6 hours.	• The vials should be protected from light. • Unpunctured vials may be stored between 9°C to 25°C (47°F to 77°F) for up to 12 hours. • After the first dose has been withdrawn, the vial should be held between 2° to 8°C (36° to 46°F) for up to 6 hours or at room temperature (maximally 25°C/77°F) for up to 2 hours. • The vial should be discarded if the vaccine is not used within these times.
