The Secretary for Food & Health has approved the revised information on product labels, the package insert and patient information. The Department of Health will arrange a briefing on the updates for all community vaccination centre operators.
Staff carried out stringent checks and inspections to ensure the vaccine complies with the product specifications and that the transportation process followed the relevant cold-chain requirements.
