Vivotif® (Typhoid vaccine live oral attenuated Ty21a) is not stable when exposed to room temperatures. Vivotif® should be shipped and stored at refrigerated temperatures between 35.6 °F and 46.4 °F (2 °C and 8 °C). Vaccine capsules should be stored in the refrigerator between doses. The vaccine may be left out of refrigeration during a reasonable transit time home from the clinic. If the capsules are left outside of refrigeration at room temperature 77 °F (25 °C) for up to 12 hours on a one-time only occasion, the product quality will not be affected, and the capsules can still be taken. Each blister of vaccine shows an expiration date. This expiration date is valid only if the product has been maintained between 35.6 °F and 46.4 °F (2 °C and 8 °C). While it will not affect the viability of the vaccine, it is not recommended for capsules to be frozen. The product should be stored in a dry place and protected from light.

Awesome, well done.
