For intramuscular use

Dosage and Schedule

Administer FLUAD as a single 0.5 mL intramuscular injection in adults 65 years of age and older.

Administration

Gently shake each syringe. FLUAD has a milky-white appearance. Parenteral drug products should be inspected visually for particulate matter and discoloration prior to administration whenever solution and container permit. If either condition exists, FLUAD should not be administered.
To use a pre-filled syringe fitted with a Luer Lok system, remove the tip cap by unscrewing it in a counter-clockwise direction. Once the tip cap is removed, attach a needle to the syringe by screwing it on in a clockwise direction until it locks. Once the needle is locked in place, remove the needle protector and administer the vaccine.
