Hi, guest.

It's important to note that vaccine storage and handling are critical factors that can impact the effectiveness and safety of a vaccine.

If the vaccine was stored improperly or for an extended period, it could potentially impact the vaccine's effectiveness or increase the risk of side effects. In this situation, it may be appropriate to ask for a fresh dose, especially if the vaccine was visibly crystallizing or had been left out for an extended period.

If you have concerns or questions about the vaccine administration process, it's always best to discuss them with a doctor or the person administering the vaccine. They can provide more information and guidance based on your individual circumstances.

How are you today? Can you tell us what happened in the meantime?
