Special warnings and precautions for use1
Appropriate medical treatment and supervision should always be readily available in case of an anaphylactic event following the administration of the vaccine.
Anxiety-related reactions, including vasovagal reactions (syncope), hyperventilation or stress-related reactions may occur in association with vaccination as a psychogenic response to the needle injection. It is important that procedures are in place to avoid injury from fainting.
Vaccination should be postponed in individuals suffering from an acute febrile illness. However, the presence of a minor infection, such as a cold, should not result in the deferral of vaccination.
ABRYSVO should be given with caution to individuals with thrombocytopenia or any coagulation disorder since bleeding or bruising may occur following an intramuscular administration to these individuals.
The efficacy and safety of the vaccine have not been assessed in immunocompromised individuals, including those receiving immunosuppressant therapy. The efficacy of ABRYSVO may be lower in immunosuppressed individuals.
