Influenza virus vaccine, quadrivalent (ccIIV4), derived from cell cultures, subunit, antibiotic free, 0.5 mL dosage, for intramuscular use. This describes the administration of an influenza vaccine designed to protect against four different strains of the influenza virus. The vaccine is made using cell cultures, meaning it's not grown in eggs, making it suitable for people with egg allergies. It's a subunit vaccine, containing only specific parts of the virus, and is free of antibiotics.
Example 1: A 5-year-old child receives their annual flu vaccine via intramuscular injection of the quadrivalent cell-culture based, antibiotic-free influenza vaccine., A 30-year-old pregnant woman with an egg allergy receives the quadrivalent, cell-culture derived influenza vaccine., A 70-year-old individual receives their annual flu shot, specifically requesting the antibiotic-free version.
Documentation should include the type of vaccine administered (quadrivalent, cell-culture based, antibiotic-free), dosage (0.5 mL), route of administration (intramuscular), and site of administration.
