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 [see Description (11)]. 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.
