Live attenuated herpes zoster vaccine

ZOSTAVAX® (Zoster Vaccine Live) is a live attenuated vaccine provided as a single-dose, sterile, lyophilized, preservative-free frozen formulation. The vaccine will be supplied in 3-mL glass vials. Sterile diluent will be used to reconstitute study vaccine. The reconstituted vial will be gently agitated to mix thoroughly. The entire contents of the reconstituted vaccine vial (approximately 0.65 mL) will be withdrawn into a syringe. The vaccine will be administered immediately subcutaneously in the deltoid region.
