How AREXVY Is Prepared1

AREXVY is supplied in 2 vials that must be reconstituted prior to administration
 

Prepare AREXVY by reconstituting the lyophilized antigen component (a sterile white powder) with the accompanying adjuvant suspension component (an opalescent, colorless to pale brownish sterile liquid). Use only the supplied adjuvant suspension component for reconstitution. The reconstituted vaccine should be an opalescent, colorless to pale brownish liquid. Parenteral drug products should be inspected visually for particulate matter and discoloration prior to administration, whenever solution and container permit. If either of these conditions exists, the vaccine should not be administered.

Vial 1

Adjuvant suspension component (liquid)

Vial 2

Lyophilized antigen component (powder)

STEP A: Withdraw

Cleanse both vial stoppers. Using a sterile needle and sterile syringe, withdraw the entire contents of the vial containing the adjuvant suspension component (liquid) by slightly tilting the vial. Vial 1 of 2.

STEP B: Transfer

Slowly transfer entire contents of syringe into the lyophilized antigen component vial (powder). Vial 2 of 2.

STEP C: Swirl

Gently swirl the vial until the powder is completely dissolved. DO NOT SHAKE VIGOROUSLY.

STEP D: After Reconstitution

After reconstitution, withdraw 0.5 mL from the vial containing the reconstituted vaccine and administer intramuscularly.

Important Safety Information

Indication

AREXVY is a vaccine indicated for active immunization for the prevention of lower respiratory tract disease (LRTD) caused by respiratory syncytial virus (RSV) in:

  • individuals 60 years of age and older;
  • individuals 50 through 59 years of age who are at increased risk for LRTD caused by RSV.

Important Safety Information

  • AREXVY is contraindicated in anyone with a history of a severe allergic reaction (eg, anaphylaxis) to any component of AREXVY
  • The results of a postmarketing observational study suggest an increased risk of Guillain-Barré syndrome during the 42 days following vaccination with AREXVY
  • Appropriate medical treatment must be immediately available to manage potential anaphylactic reactions following administration of AREXVY
  • Syncope (fainting) may occur in association with administration of injectable vaccines, including AREXVY. Procedures should be in place to avoid injury from fainting
  • Immunocompromised persons, including those receiving immunosuppressive therapy, may have a diminished immune response to AREXVY
  • In adults 60 years of age and older, the most commonly reported adverse reactions (≥10%) were injection site pain (60.9%), fatigue (33.6%), myalgia (28.9%), headache (27.2%), and arthralgia (18.1%)
  • In adults 50 through 59 years of age, the most commonly reported adverse reactions (≥10%) were injection site pain (75.8%), fatigue (39.8%), myalgia (35.6%), headache (31.7%), arthralgia (23.4%), erythema (13.2%), and swelling (10.4%)
  • There are no data on the use of AREXVY in pregnant or breastfeeding individuals. AREXVY is not approved for use in persons <50 years of age
