4. CLINICAL PARTICULARS 
 
4.1 Therapeutic indications 
 
Prophylaxis of influenza in an officially declared pandemic situation.  
 
Adjupanrix should be used in accordance with official guidance. 
 
4.2 Posology and method of administration 
 
Posology 
 
Persons not previously vaccinated with Prepandrix  
 
Adults from the age of 18 years: 
One dose of 0.5 ml at an elected date. 
A second dose of 0.5 ml should be given after an interval of at least three weeks and up to twelve 
months after the first dose for maximum efficacy.  



3 

 
Based on very limited data, adults aged >80 years may require a double dose of Adjupanrix on an 
elected date and again after an interval of at least three weeks in order to achieve an immune response 
(see section 5.1). 
 
Persons previously vaccinated with one or two doses of Prepandrix containing HA derived from a 
different clade of the same influenza subtype as the pandemic influenza virus: 
 
Adults from the age of 18 years onwards: one dose of 0.5 ml at an elected date. 
 
Paediatric population 
 
There are limited safety and immunogenicity data available on the administration of Adjupanrix and 
on administration of half a dose of the vaccine (i.e. 1.875 µg HA and half the amount of AS03 
adjuvant) at 0 and 21 days in children aged 3 to 9 years.   
 
Currently available data are described in section 4.4, 4.8 and 5.1 but no recommendation on a 
posology can be made. 
 
For further information, see sections 4.4, 4.8 and 5.1. 
 
Method of administration 
 
Immunisation should be carried out by intramuscular injection. 
 
If a double dose is given, the injections should be given into opposite limbs preferably into the deltoid 
muscle or anterolateral thigh (depending on the muscle mass). 
 
For instructions on mixing of the medicinal product before administration, see section 6.6. 
 
4.3 Contraindications 
 
History of an anaphylactic (i.e. life-threatening) reaction to any of the constituents or trace residues 
(egg and chicken protein, ovalbumin, formaldehyde, gentamicin sulphate and sodium deoxycholate) of 
this vaccine. However, in a pandemic situation, it may be appropriate to give the vaccine, provided 
that facilities for resuscitation are immediately available in case of need. See section 4.4. 
 
4.4 Special warnings and precautions for use 
 
Caution is needed when administering this vaccine to persons with a known hypersensitivity (other 
than anaphylactic reaction) to the active substance, to any of the excipients listed in section 6.1, to 
thiomersal and to residues (egg and chicken protein, ovalbumin, formaldehyde, gentamicin sulphate 
and sodium deoxycholate). 
 
As with all injectable vaccines, appropriate medical treatment and supervision should always be 
readily available in case of a rare anaphylactic event following the administration of the vaccine. 
 
If the pandemic situation allows, immunisation shall be postponed in patients with severe febrile 
illness or acute infection. 
 
Adjupanrix should under no circumstances be administered intravascularly. There are no data with 
Adjupanrix using the subcutaneous route.  Therefore, healthcare providers need to assess the benefits 
and potential risks of administering the vaccine in individuals with thrombocytopenia or any bleeding 
disorder that would contraindicate intramuscular injection unless the potential benefit outweighs the 
risk of bleedings. 
 



4 

There are no data on administration of AS03-adjuvanted vaccines before or following other types of 
influenza vaccines intended for pre-pandemic or pandemic use. 
 
Antibody response in patients with endogenous or iatrogenic immunosuppression may be insufficient. 
 
A protective immune response may not be elicited in all vaccinees (see section 5.1). 
 
Syncope (fainting) can occur following, or even before, any vaccination as a psychogenic response to 
the needle injection. This can be accompanied by several neurological signs such as transient visual 
disturbance, paraesthesia and tonic-clonic limb movements during recovery. It is important that 
procedures are in place to avoid injury from faints. 
 
Epidemiological studies relating to another AS03-adjuvanted vaccine (Pandemrix H1N1, also 
manufactured in the same facility as Adjupanrix), in several European countries have indicated an 
increased risk of narcolepsy with or without cataplexy in vaccinated as compared with unvaccinated 
individuals. In children/adolescents (aged up to 20 years), these studies have indicated an additional 
1.4 to 8 cases in 100,000 vaccinated subjects. Available epidemiological data in adults aged over 20 
years have indicated approximately 1 additional case per 100,000 vaccinated subjects. These data 
suggest that the excess risk tends to decline with increasing age at vaccination. There is currently no 
evidence to indicate that Adjupanrix may be associated with a risk of narcolepsy. 
 
Paediatric population 
 
Clinical data in children less than 6 years of age who received two doses of pandemic preparedness or 
zoonotic influenza vaccine (H5N1) indicate an increase in frequency of fever (axillary≥38°C) after the 
administration of the second dose. Therefore, monitoring of temperature and measures to lower the 
fever (such as antipyretic medication as seems clinically necessary) are recommended in young 
children (e.g. up to approximately 6 years of age) post-vaccination. 
 
4.5 Interaction with other medicinal products and other forms of interaction 
 
There are no data on co-administration of Adjupanrix with other vaccines. If co-administration with 
another vaccine is considered, immunisation should be carried out on separate limbs. It should be 
noted that the adverse reactions may be intensified. 
 
The immunological response may be diminished if the patient is undergoing immunosuppressant 
treatment. 
 
Following influenza vaccination, false-positive serology test results may be obtained by the ELISA 
method for antibody to human immunodeficiency virus-1 (HIV-1), hepatitis C virus and, especially, 
HTLV-1. In such cases, the Western blot method is negative.  These transitory false-positive results 
may be due to IgM production in response to the vaccine. 
 
4.6  Fertility, pregnancy and lactation 
 
Pregnancy 
 
There are currently no data available on the use of Adjupanrix in pregnancy.  
 
An AS03-containing vaccine containing HA from H1N1v has been administered to women in each 
trimester of pregnancy.  Information on outcomes from estimated more than 200,000 women who 
have been vaccinated during pregnancy is currently limited. There was no evidence of an increased 
risk of adverse outcomes in over 100 pregnancies that were followed in a prospective clinical study. 
 
Animal studies with Adjupanrix do not indicate reproductive toxicity (see section 5.3). 
 



5 

Data from pregnant women vaccinated with different inactivated non-adjuvanted seasonal vaccines do 
not suggest malformations or foetal or neonatal toxicity. 
 
The use of Adjupanrix may be considered during pregnancy if this is thought to be necessary, taking 
into account official recommendations.  
 
Breast-feeding 
 
Adjupanrix may be used in lactating women. 
 
Fertility 
 
No fertility data are available. 
 
4.7 Effects on ability to drive and use machines 
 
Some of the effects mentioned under section 4.8 “Undesirable Effects” may affect the ability to drive 
or operate machinery. 
 
4.8 Undesirable effects 
 
Summary of the safety profile 
 
Clinical studies have evaluated the incidence of adverse reactions listed below in approximately 5,000 
subjects 18 years old and above who received formulations containing at least 3.75 microgram 
HA/AS03.  
 
List of adverse reactions 
Adverse reactions reported are listed according to the following frequency: 
 
Frequencies are reported as: 
Very common (≥1/10) 
Common (≥1/100 to <1/10) 
Uncommon (≥1/1,000 to <1/100) 
Rare (≥1/10,000 to <1/1,000) 
Very rare (<1/10,000) 
 
Adverse reactions from clinical trials with the pandemic preparedness vaccine are listed here below 
(see section 5.1 for more information on pandemic preparedness vaccines). 
 
Within each frequency grouping, undesirable effects are presented in order of decreasing seriousness. 
 
Blood and lymphatic system disorders 
Common: lymphadenopathy 
 
Psychiatric disorders 
Uncommon: insomnia 
 
Nervous system disorders 
Very common: headache 
Uncommon: paraesthesia, somnolence, dizziness  
 
Gastrointestinal disorders 
Uncommon: gastro-intestinal symptoms (such as diarrhoea, vomiting, abdominal pain, nausea) 
 
Skin and subcutaneous tissue disorders 
Common: ecchymosis at the injection site, sweating increased 



6 

Uncommon: pruritus, rash 
 
Musculoskeletal and connective tissue disorders 
Very common: arthralgia, myalgia 
 
General disorders and administration site conditions 
Very common: induration, swelling, pain and redness at the injection site, fever, fatigue 
Common: shivering, influenza like illness, injection site reactions (such as warmth, pruritus)  
Uncommon: malaise 
 
Paediatric population 
 
A clinical study (D-H5N1-009) evaluated the reactogenicity in children 3 to 5 and 6 to 9 years of age 
who received either two adult (i.e. 0.5 ml) doses or two half adult (i.e. 0.25 ml) doses (21 days apart) 
of Adjupanrix.  
 
A difference in the frequency of local and general solicited adverse reactions between half adult and 
adult doses was observed after each dose. The administration of a second half adult or an adult dose 
did not enhance the reactogenicity, except for rates of general symptoms which were higher after the 
second dose, particularly for rates of fever in <6 year olds. The per-dose frequency of adverse 
reactions was as follows: 
 
Adverse reactions 3-5 years 6-9 years 
 Half dose Full dose Half dose Full dose 
Induration 9.9% 18.6% 12.0% 12.2% 
Pain 48.5% 62.9% 68.0% 73.5% 
Redness 10.9% 19.6% 13.0% 6.1%

In other clinical studies where children 6 months to 17 years received  zoonotic influenza vaccine 
(H5N1 A/Indonesia/05/2005 manufactured in Dresden, Germany), increases in the frequency of some 
side effects (including injection site pain, redness and fever) were seen after the second dose in 
children aged less than 6 years. 
 
• Post-marketing surveillance 
 
No post-marketing surveillance data are available following Adjupanrix administration. 
 
AS03-containing vaccines containing 3.75 µg HA derived from A/California/7/2009 (H1N1) 
 
From post-marketing experience with AS03-containing vaccines containing 3.75 µg HA derived from 
A/California/7/2009 (H1N1), the following adverse reactions have been reported: 
 
Immune system disorders 
Anaphylaxis, allergic reactions 
 



7 

Nervous system disorders 
Febrile convulsions 
 
Skin and subcutaneous tissue disorders 
Angioedema, generalised skin reactions, urticaria  
 
Interpandemic trivalent vaccines 
 
In addition, from post-marketing surveillance with interpandemic trivalent vaccines, the following 
adverse reactions have been reported: 
 
Rare:  
Neuralgia, transient thrombocytopenia. 
 
Very rare: 
Vasculitis with transient renal involvement. 
Neurological disorders, such as encephalomyelitis, neuritis and Guillain Barré syndrome. 
 
This medicinal product contains thiomersal (an organomercuric compound) as a preservative and 
therefore, it is possible that sensitisation reactions may occur (see section 4.4). 
 
Reporting of suspected adverse reactions 
Reporting suspected adverse reactions after authorisation of the medicinal product is important. 
It allows continued monitoring of the benefit/risk balance of the medicinal product. Healthcare 
professionals are asked to report any suspected adverse reactions via the national reporting system 
listed in Appendix V. 
 
4.9 Overdose 
 
No case of overdose has been reported. 
 
 
5. PHARMACOLOGICAL PROPERTIES 
 
5.1 Pharmacodynamic properties 
 
Pharmacotherapeutic group: Influenza vaccines, ATC Code: J07BB02. 
 
Pharmacodynamic effects 
 
This section describes the clinical experience with the pandemic preparedness vaccines.  
 
Pandemic preparedness vaccines contain influenza antigens that are different from those in the 
currently circulating influenza viruses. These antigens can be considered as “novel” antigens and 
simulate a situation where the target population for vaccination is immunologically naïve. Data 
obtained with the pandemic preparedness vaccine will support a vaccination strategy that is likely to 
be used for the pandemic vaccine: clinical immunogenicity, safety and reactogenicity data obtained 
with pandemic preparedness vaccines are relevant for the pandemic vaccines.   
 
Immune response against A/Vietnam/1194/2004 (H5N1): 
 
Adults aged 18-60 years 
 
In clinical studies that evaluated the immunogenicity of AS03-adjuvanted vaccine containing 3.75 µg 
HA derived from A/Vietnam/1194/2004 in subjects aged 18-60 years the anti-haemagglutinin (anti-
HA) antibody responses were as follows:

Although an adequate immune response was achieved at day 42 following two administrations of a 
single dose of AS03-adjuvanted vaccine containing 3.75 µg HA derived from A/Vietnam/1194/2004 
(H5N1), a higher response was observed following two administrations of a double dose of vaccine. 
 
Very limited data in seronegative subjects >80 years of age (N=5) showed that no subject achieved 
seroprotection rate following two administrations of a single dose of AS03-adjuvanted vaccine 
containing 3.75 µg HA derived from A/Vietnam/1194/2004 (H5N1). However, following two 
administrations of a double dose of vaccine, the seroprotection rate at day 42 was 75%. 
Subjects of D-Pan-H5N1-010 were followed up for persistence of the immune response. The 
seroprotection rates 6, 12 and 24 months after vaccination were as follows:

At day 180, the seroprotection rate was 13%. 
 
A 4-fold increase in serum neutralising antibody titres against A/Vietnam was obtained in 49% of 
subjects twenty-one days after the first dose, 67.3% twenty-one days after the second dose and 44.9% 
six months after the second dose. 
 
Alternative schedules 
An extended dosing interval was investigated in study D-H5N1-012 in which a group of subjects 18-
60 years of age received two doses of Adjupanrix 6 months or 12 months apart. Twenty-one days after 
the second dose, the seroprotection rate and the vaccine response rate against A/Vietnam/1194/2004 in 
subjects who received the vaccine 6 months apart were 89.6% and 95.7%, respectively. Twenty-one 
days after the second dose, the seroprotection rate and the vaccine response rate in subjects who 
received the vaccine 12 months apart were 92.0% and 100%, respectively. 
In this study, cross-reactive immune responses against A/Indonesia/5/2005 were also observed. 
Twenty-one days after the second dose, the seroprotection rate and the vaccine response rate in 
subjects who received the vaccine 6 months apart were 83.3% and 100%, respectively. Twenty-one 
days after the second dose, the seroprotection rate and the vaccine response rate in subjects who 
received the vaccine 12 months apart were 84.0% and 100%, respectively. 
 
One dose of AS03-adjuvanted vaccine containing 3.75 µg HA derived from A/Indonesia/05/2005

Regardless of whether one or two doses of priming vaccine had been given 6 months earlier, the 
seroprotection rates against A/Indonesia were >80% after a dose of AS03-adjuvanted vaccine 
containing 3.75 µg HA derived from A/Vietnam/1194/2004 and the seroprotection rates against 
A/Vietnam were >90% after a dose of AS03-adjuvanted vaccine containing 3.75 µg HA derived from 
A/Indonesia/05/2005. All subjects achieved a neutralising antibody titre of at least 1:80 against each of 
the two strains regardless of the HA type in the vaccine and the previous number of doses. 
 
In another clinical study (D-Pan-H5N1-015), 39 subjects aged 18-60 years received a dose of AS03-
adjuvanted vaccine containing 3.75 µg HA derived from A/Indonesia/5/2005 fourteen months after 
they had received two doses of AS03-adjuvanted vaccine containing 3.75 µg HA derived from 
A/Vietnam/1194/2004 administered on day 0 and day 21. The seroprotection rate against A/Indonesia 
21 days after booster vaccination was 92% and 69.2% at day 180. 
 
In another clinical study (D-Pan-H5N1-038), 387 subjects aged 18-60 years received 1 dose of AS03-
adjuvanted vaccine containing 3.75 µg HA derived from A/Indonesia/5/2005 36 months after they had 
received two doses of A/Vietnam/1194/2004. The seroprotection rate, booster seroconversion rate and 
booster factor against A/Indonesia/5/2005 21 days after booster vaccination was 100%, 99.7% and 
123.8, respectively. 
 
Information from non-clinical studies: 
 
The ability to induce protection against homologous and heterologous vaccine strains was assessed 
non-clinically using ferret challenge models. 
 
In each experiment, four groups of six ferrets were immunised intramuscularly with an AS03 
adjuvanted vaccine containing HA derived from H5N1/A/Vietnam/1194/04 (NIBRG-14). Doses of 15, 
5, 1.7 or 0.6 micrograms of HA were tested in the homologous challenge experiment, and doses of 15, 
7.5, 3.8 or 1.75 micrograms of HA were tested in the heterologous challenge experiment. Control 
groups included ferrets immunized with adjuvant alone, non-adjuvanted vaccine (15 micrograms HA) 
or phosphate buffered saline solution. Ferrets were vaccinated on days 0 and 21 and challenged by the 
intra-tracheal route on day 49 with a lethal dose of either H5N1/A/Vietnam/1194/04 or heterologous 
H5N1/A/Indonesia/5/05. Of the animals receiving adjuvanted vaccine, 87% and 96% were protected 
against the lethal homologous or heterologous challenge, respectively. Viral shedding into the upper 
respiratory tract was also reduced in vaccinated animals relative to controls, suggesting a reduced risk 
of viral transmission. In the unadjuvanted control group, as well as in the adjuvant control group, all 
animals died or had to be euthanized as they were moribund, three to four days after the start of 
challenge.

6.6 Special precautions for disposal and other handling 
 
Adjupanrix consists of two containers:  
Suspension: multidose vial containing the antigen,  
Emulsion: multidose vial containing the adjuvant.  



17 

 
Prior to administration, the two components should be mixed. 
 
Instructions for mixing and administration of the vaccine: 
 
1. Before mixing the two components, the emulsion (adjuvant) and suspension (antigen) should be 

allowed to reach room temperature (for a minimum of 15 minutes); each vial should be shaken 
and inspected visually for any foreign particulate matter and/or abnormal physical appearance. 
In the event of either being observed (including rubber particles from the stopper), discard the 
vaccine. 

2. The vaccine is mixed by withdrawing the entire contents of the vial containing the adjuvant by 
means of a 5 ml syringe and by adding it to the vial containing the antigen. It is recommended 
to equip the syringe with a 23-G needle.  However, in the case this needle size would not be 
available, a 21-G needle might be used. The vial containing the adjuvant should be maintained 
in upside down position to facilitate the withdrawal of the full content.  

3. After the addition of the adjuvant to the antigen, the mixture should be well shaken. The mixed 
vaccine is a whitish to yellowish homogeneous milky liquid emulsion. In the event of other 
variation being observed, discard the vaccine. 

4. The volume of the Adjupanrix vial after mixing is at least 5 ml. The vaccine should be 
administered in accordance with the recommended posology (see section 4.2). 

5. The vial should be shaken prior to each administration and inspected visually for any foreign 
particulate matter and/or abnormal physical appearance. In the event of either being observed 
(including rubber particles from the stopper), discard the vaccine. 

6. Each vaccine dose of 0.5 ml is withdrawn into a 1 ml syringe for injection and administered 
intramuscularly. It is recommended to equip the syringe with a needle gauge not larger than 23-
G.  

7. After mixing, use the vaccine within 24 hours. The mixed vaccine can either be stored in a 
refrigerator (2°C - 8°C) or at room temperature not exceeding 25°C. If the mixed vaccine is 
stored in a refrigerator, it should be allowed to reach room temperature (for a minimum of 15 
minutes) before each withdrawal. 

 
Any unused medicinal product or waste material should be disposed of in accordance with local 
requirements.

B. CONDITIONS OR RESTRICTIONS REGARDING SUPPLY AND USE 
 
Medicinal product subject to medical prescription. 
 
Adjupanrix can only be marketed when there is an official WHO/EU declaration of an influenza 
pandemic, on the condition that the Marketing Authorisation Holder for Adjupanrix takes due account 
of the officially declared pandemic strain. 
 
• Official batch release 

 
In accordance with Article 114 of Directive 2001/83/EC, the official batch release will be undertaken 
by a state laboratory or a laboratory designated for that purpose. 
 
 
C.  OTHER CONDITIONS AND REQUIREMENTS OF THE MARKETING 

AUTHORISATION 
 
• Periodic Safety Update Reports  
 
The requirements for submission of periodic safety update reports for this medicinal product are set 
out in the list of Union reference dates (EURD list) provided for under Article 107c(7) of Directive 
2001/83/EC and any subsequent updates published on the European medicines web-portal. 
 
Outside of the pandemic period, the normal PSUR periodicity and format will be maintained, with a 
specific review of AESI and possible adverse events related to adjuvants. This should include data 
from ongoing studies, or actual use if applicable, of the pandemic preparedness strains and any safety 
data relevant to the adjuvant system. 
 
During a pandemic situation, the resources must be concentrated on a timely and effective monitoring 
of the safety profile of the influenza vaccines used during the pandemic.  Moreover, a 6-monthly cycle 
may be too long to allow assessment of the safety of a vaccine for which high levels of exposure are 
expected within a short period of time.  Therefore, 6-monthly or annual PSURs falling within the 
pandemic period will be replaced by monthly “simplified PSURs” (S-PSUR) accompanied by a 
summary of vaccine distribution. 
 
Frequency of submission 
 
- The clock should start from the first Monday after shipment of the first batch of vaccine. 



21 

- First data-lock point is 30 days later. 
- S-PSUR submission to the Rapporteur and CHMP members on Day 45. 
- Rapporteur’s assessment report is circulated to CHMP members on Day 50. 
- CHMP report is circulated to the vaccine manufacturer on Day 55. 
- Reporting to be monthly for the first 6 months. 
- Periodicity should be reviewed by the MAH and the (Co-)Rapporteur at 6 monthly intervals. 
 
When it has been agreed by the CHMP that the S-PSUR is no longer necessary, a full PSUR covering 
the period since the data lock point of the last routine PSUR will be submitted within a time frame to 
be agreed with the Rapporteur. 
 
Format of the simplified PSUR 
 
Only spontaneously reported data should be included in the PSUR. The report should include the 
following Tables of aggregate data (using the pre-defined templates attached in Annex 2).   

1. An overview for all spontaneous cases per country, stratified according to type of report 
(medically confirmed or non-medically confirmed) and seriousness, for the period covered by 
the report and cumulatively.  

 
2. An overview for all spontaneous adverse reactions by SOC, High Level Term (HLT) and 

Preferred Term (PT), stratified according to type of report (medically confirmed or non-
medically confirmed) and including the number of fatal reports, for the period covered by the 
report and cumulatively. 

 
3. Adverse Events of Special Interest stratified according to type of report (medically confirmed 

or non-medically confirmed). AESIs will be defined as follows: 
 

- Neuritis:   PT “Neuritis” 
- Convulsion:   narrow SMQ “Convulsions” 
- Anaphylaxis:  narrow SMQ “Anaphylactic reaction” and narrow SMQ 

“Angioedema” 
- Encephalitis:   narrow SMQ “Non-infectious encephalitis” 
- Vasculitis:   narrow SMQ “Vasculitis” 
- Guillain-Barré syndrome: narrow SMQ “Guillain-Barré syndrome” 
- Demyelination:  narrow SMQ “Demyelination” (as GBS is also included in 

this SMQ, there will be an overlap in the number of cases for 
these two categories). 

- Bell’s palsy:   PT “Bell’s palsy” 
- Vaccination failure:  PT “Vaccination failure”. 
 

4. Serious unlisted adverse reactions (SOC, HLT, PTs) stratified according to type of report 
(medically confirmed or non-medically confirmed), for the period covered by the report and 
cumulatively. 

 
5. All spontaneous adverse reactions by age group, per SOC, HLT and PT, stratified according to 

type of report (medically confirmed or non-medically confirmed), for the period covered by 
the report and cumulatively. The following age groups will be used: < 2 years, 2-8 years, > 9 
years. 

 
6. All spontaneous adverse reactions (SOC, HLT, PT) occurring in pregnant women, stratified 

according to type of report (medically confirmed or non-medically confirmed), for the period 
covered by the report and cumulatively. 

 
The following principles should be followed when compiling the data: 
 
- Except for Table 1, all tables will be based on number of reactions (presented on PT level, 

sorted by System Organ Class [SOC] and High Level Term [HLT]) and not number of cases. 



22 

- All tables will be based on generic and not product-specific data1.  Product-specific data can 
be evaluated during signal work-up.  

- “Cumulatively” means since the use of the vaccine; events not reported during the period of 
interest should not be presented in the tables. 

- All non-medically confirmed events are those that have been entered into the database by the 
data-lock point. Those which have not yet been entered should be reported in the following S-
PSUR.  

- A line listing of fatal cases will be provided in an Annex. 
 
A short summary should be provided in which validated signals and areas of concern are highlighted, 
taking into account information arising from the prospective cohort study described in 4.5.  In the 
event of multiple signals, signal work-up may be prioritised and appropriate timelines for submission 
of a full signal evaluation report should be provided.   
 
Vaccine distribution report 
 
To put the safety report into context, a summary of vaccine distribution should be included and should 
provide details of the number of doses of vaccine distributed in 

i) EU member states for the reporting period by batch number, 
ii) EU member states cumulatively and 
iii) the rest of the world.

B. PACKAGE LEAFLET 
 



35 

 
Package leaflet: Information for the user 

 
Adjupanrix suspension and emulsion for emulsion for injection 

Pandemic influenza vaccine (H5N1) (split virion, inactivated, adjuvanted) 
 

Read all of this leaflet carefully before you start receiving this vaccine because it contains 
important information for you. 
 
• Keep this leaflet. You may need to read it again. 
• If you have any further questions, ask your doctor or nurse. 
• This vaccine has been prescribed for you only. Do not pass it on to others. 
• If you get any side effects, talk to your doctor.This includes any possible side effects not listed 

in this leaflet. See section 4. 
 
What is in this leaflet:  
1. What Adjupanrix is and what it is used for 
2. What you need to know before you receive Adjupanrix 
3. How Adjupanrix is given 
4. Possible side effects 
5. How to store Adjupanrix 
6. Contents of the pack and otherinformation 
 
 
1. What Adjupanrix is and what it is used for 
 
What Adjupanrix is and what it is used for 
Adjupanrix is a vaccine for use in adults from 18 years old to prevent pandemic flu (influenza). 
 
Pandemic flu is a type of influenza that happens at intervals that vary from less than 10 years to many 
decades. It spreads rapidly around the world. The signs of pandemic flu are similar to those of 
ordinary flu but may be more serious. 
 
How Adjupanrix works 
When a person is given the vaccine, the body’s natural defence system (immune system) produces its 
own protection (antibodies) against the disease. None of the ingredients in the vaccine can cause flu. 
 
As with all vaccines, Adjupanrix may not fully protect all persons who are vaccinated. 
 
 
2. What you need to know before you receive Adjupanrix 
 
Adjupanrix should not be given 
• If you have previously had a sudden life-threatening allergic reaction to any ingredient of this 

vaccine (listed in section 6) or to anything else that may be present in very small amounts, such 
as: egg and chicken protein, ovalbumin, formaldehyde, gentamicin sulphate (antibiotic) or 
sodium deoxycholate.  
- Signs of an allergic reaction may include itchy skin rash, shortness of breath and swelling of 

the face or tongue.  
- However, in a pandemic situation, you may still be given the vaccine. This is as long as 

medical treatment is available straight away, in case you have an allergic reaction. 
 
Do not have Adjupanrix if any of the above apply to you.   
 
If you are not sure, talk to your doctor or nurse before having this vaccine. 
 
Warning and precautions: 



36 

 
Talk to your doctor or nurse before you are given Adjupanrix  
 
• if you have had any allergic reaction other than a sudden life-threatening allergic reaction to any 

ingredient of Adjupanrix (listed in section 6) or to thiomersal, to egg and chicken protein, 
ovalbumin, formaldehyde, gentamicin sulphate (antibiotic) or to sodium deoxycholate. 

• if you have a serious infection with a high temperature (over 38°C). If this applies to you then 
your vaccination will usually be postponed until you are feeling better. A minor infection such 
as a cold should not be a problem, but your doctor will advise whether you could still be 
vaccinated with Adjupanrix. 

• if you have problems with your immune system, since your response to the vaccine may then be 
poor. 

• if you are having a blood test to look for evidence of infection with certain viruses. In the first 
few weeks after vaccination with Adjupanrix the results of these tests may not be correct. Tell 
the doctor requesting these tests that you have recently received Adjupanrix. 

• you have a bleeding problem or you bruise easily. 
 
Fainting can occur following, or even before, any needle injection. Therefore tell the doctor or nurse if 
you fainted with a previous injection. 
 
If any of the above apply to you (or you are not sure), talk to your doctor or nurse before having 
Adjupanrix. This is because the vaccination may not be recommended, or may need to be delayed. 
 
Children 
If your child receives the vaccine, you should be aware that the side effects may be more intense after 
the second dose, especially temperature over 38°C. Therefore monitoring of temperature and measures 
to lower the temperature (such as giving paracetamol or other medicines that lower fever) after each 
dose are recommended. 
 
Other medicines and Adjupanrix 
Tell your doctor or nurse if you are taking, have recently taken or might take any other medicines or 
have recently received any other vaccine. 
 
In particular, tell your doctor or nurse if you are having any treatments (such as corticosteroid 
treatments or chemotherapy for cancer) that affect the immune system. Adjupanrix can still be given 
but your response to the vaccine may be poor. 
 
Adjupanrix is not intended to be given at the same time as some other vaccines. However, if this needs 
to happen, the other vaccine will be injected into the other arm. Any side effects that happen may be 
more serious.  
 
Pregnancy and breast-feeding 
If you are pregnant or breast-feeding, think you may be pregnant or are planning to have a baby, ask 
your doctor for advice before taking this vaccine. 
 
Driving and using machines 
Some side effects listed in Section 4. “Possible side effects” may affect your ability to drive or use 
tools or machines. It is best to see how Adjupanrix affects you before you try these activities. 
 
Adjupanrix contains thiomersal 
Adjupanrix contains thiomersal as a preservative and it is possible that you may experience an allergic 
reaction. Tell your doctor if you have any known allergies. 
 
Adjupanrix contains sodium and potassium 
Adjupanrix contains less than 1 mmol sodium (23 mg) and less than 1 mmol of potassium (39 mg) per 
dose. It is essentially sodium- and potassium-free. 
 



37 

 
3. How Adjupanrix is given 
 
If you have not previously received doses of Prepandrix  
 
• From 18 years onwards: you will receive two doses of Adjupanrix. The second dose should be 

given after an interval of at least three weeks and up to twelve months after the first dose. 
 
• From 80 years onwards: you may receive two double injections of Adjupanrix. The first two 

injections should be given at the elected date and the two other injections should preferably be 
given 3 weeks after. 

 
If you have previously received one or two doses of Prepandrix  
 
• From 18 years onwards: you will receive one dose of Adjupanrix.  
 
Use in children 
 
In a clinical study, children 3 to 9 years of age have received either two adult (0.5 ml) or two half adult 
(0.25 ml) doses.  Your doctor will decide the appropriate dose for your child. 
 
Your doctor or nurse will give you Adjupanrix. 
 
• They will give Adjupanrix as an injection into a muscle. 
• This will usually be in the upper arm. 
• The double injections will be given in opposite arms. 
 
If you have any further questions on the use of this vaccine, ask your doctor or nurse. 
 
 
4. Possible side effects 

 
Like all medicines, this vaccine can cause side effects, although not everybody gets them. The 
following side effects may happen with this medicine: 
 
Allergic reactions 
Allergic reactions which may cause you to have dangerously low blood pressure. If this is not treated 
it may lead to shock. Your doctors know that this might happen and will have emergency treatment 
ready to use. 
 
Other side effects: 
 
Very common: may affect more than 1 in 10 people 
• Headache 
• Feeling tired 
• Pain, redness, swelling or a hard lump where the injection was given 
• Fever 
• Aching muscles, joint pain 
 
Common: may affect less than 1 in 10 people 
• Warmth, itching or bruising where the injection was given  
• Increased sweating, shivering, flu-like symptoms 
• Swollen glands in your neck, armpit or groin 
 
Uncommon: may affect less than 1 in 100 people

38 

• Sleepiness 
• Feeling dizzy 
• Diarrhoea, vomiting, stomach pain, feeling sick 
• Itching, rash 
• Generally feeling unwell 
• Sleeplessness 
 
Additional side effects in children 
 
In a clinical study, children 3 to 9 years of age have received either two adult (0.5 ml) or two half adult 
(0.25 ml) doses. The frequency of side effects was lower in the group of children who received half of 
the adult dose. There was no increase after the second dose whether the children received half of the 
adult or the adult dose, except for some side effects which were higher after the second dose, 
particularly for rates of fever in < 6 years old children. 
 
In other clinical studies where children 6 months to 17 years received a similar vaccine containing 
A/Indonesia/05/2005, increases in the frequency of some side effects (including injection site pain, 
redness and fever) were seen after the second dose in children aged less than 6 years. 
 
The side effects listed below have happened with H1N1 AS03-containing vaccines. They may also 
happen with Adjupanrix. If any of the side effects below occur, please tell your doctor or nurse 
immediately: 
 
• Allergic reactions leading to a dangerously low blood pressure. If this is not treated, it may lead 

to shock. Your doctors will know that this might happen and will have emergency treatment 
ready to use 

• Fits 
• Generalised skin reactions including urticaria (hives) 
 
The side effects listed below have happened in the days or weeks after vaccination with vaccines given 
routinely every year to prevent flu. They may also happen with Adjupanrix. If any of the side effects 
below occur, please tell your doctor or nurse immediately: 
 
Very rare: may affect less than 1 in 10,000 people 
• Problems with your brain and nerves such as inflammation of the central nervous system 

(encephalomyelitis), inflammation of nerves (neuritis) or a type of paralysis known as ‘Guillain-
Barré Syndrome’. 

• Inflammation of your blood vessels (vasculitis). This can cause skin rashes, joint pain and 
kidney problems 

 
Rare: may affectless than 1 in 1,000 people 
• Serious stabbing or throbbing pain along one or more nerves 
• Low blood platelet count. This can cause bleeding or bruising  
 
Reporting of side effects 
If you get any side effects, talk to your doctor or nurse. This includes any possible side effects not 
listed in this leaflet. You can also report side effects directly via the national reporting system listed 
in Appendix V. By reporting side effects you can help provide more information on the safety of 
this medicine.

The following information is intended for healthcare professionals only: 
 
Adjupanrix consists of two containers:  
Suspension: multidose vial containing the antigen,  
Emulsion: multidose vial containing the adjuvant.  
 
Prior to administration, the two components should be mixed. 
 
Instructions for mixing and administration of the vaccine: 
 
1. Before mixing the two components, the emulsion (adjuvant) and suspension (antigen) should be 

allowed to reach room temperature (for a minimum of 15 minutes); each vial should be shaken 
and inspected visually for any foreign particulate matter and/or abnormal physical appearance. 
In the event of either being observed (including rubber particles from the stopper), discard the 
vaccine. 

2. The vaccine is mixed by withdrawing the entire contents of the vial containing the adjuvant by 
means of a 5 ml syringe and by adding it to the vial containing the antigen. It is recommended 
to equip the syringe with a 23-G needle. However, in the case this needle size would not be 
available, a 21-G needle might be used. The vial containing the adjuvant should be maintained 
in upside down position to facilitate the withdrawal of the full content.  

3. After the addition of the adjuvant to the antigen, the mixture should be well shaken. The mixed 
vaccine is a whitish to yellowish homogeneous milky liquid emulsion. In the event of other 
variation being observed, discard the vaccine. 



42 

4. The volume of the Adjupanrix vial after mixing is at least 5 ml. The vaccine should be 
administered in accordance with the recommended posology (see section 3 “How Adjupanrix is 
given”). 

5. The vial should be shaken prior to each administration and inspected visually for any foreign 
particulate matter and/or abnormal physical appearance. In the event of either being observed 
(including rubber particles from the stopper), discard the vaccine. 

6. Each vaccine dose of 0.5 ml is withdrawn into a 1 ml syringe for injection and administered 
intramuscularly. It is recommended to equip the syringe with a needle gauge not larger than 23-
G. 

7.  After mixing, use the vaccine within 24 hours. The mixed vaccine can either be stored in a 
refrigerator (2°C - 8°C) or at room temperature not exceeding 25°C. If the mixed vaccine is 
stored in a refrigerator, it should be allowed to reach room temperature (for a minimum of 15 
minutes) before each withdrawal. 

 
The vaccine should not be administered intravascularly. 
 
Any unused product or waste material should be disposed of in accordance with local requirements.
