The monograph doesn't mention if the multi-dose Fluzone vial needs to discarded after a certain time, from the time it's first used. It just mentions that it needs to be kept in the fridge. One vial contains 10 doses.

Storage and Handling

Store all Fluzone and Fluzone High-Dose presentations refrigerated at 2° to 8°C (35° to 46°F). DO NOT FREEZE. Discard if vaccine has been frozen.

Between uses, return the multi-dose vial to the recommended storage conditions at 2° to 8°C (35° to 46°F).

Do not use after the expiration date shown on the label.
