Description

A vaccine presentation that requires the mixing of components prior to use. The presentation differs from a single-component vaccine which is provided in a “ready-to-use” presentation that does not require mixing. Multicomponent vaccines, such as lyophilised vaccines requiring reconstitution, add time to prepare a dose and increase the risk of errors.
