User Safety Information:

Take care to avoid self-injection. In the event of self administration, seek prompt medical attention and take this package leaflet/ carton with you. If
possible the application of gentle squeezing pressure with absorbent material (e.g. facial tissues) at the injection site will swab up unabsorbed vaccine.
Strong squeezing of the site should be avoided. The damaged area should be thoroughly cleansed and a topical antiseptic applied. Accidental
self-administration may result in local bruising, severe pain and swelling, particularly if injected into a joint or finger, and in rare cases could result
in the loss of the affected finger if prompt medical attention is not given. If pain persists for more than 12 hours after medical examination, seek
medical advice again.

First Aid:

If poisoning occurs, contact a doctor or Poisons Information Centre. Phone Australia 131126.
