On 24-MAR-2025, the patient received Priorix (intramuscular). On 24-MAR-2025, an unknown time after receiving Priorix, the patient experienced subcutaneous injection formulation administered by other route (Verbatim: Given intramuscularly). The outcome of the subcutaneous injection formulation administered by other route was not applicable. This report is made by GSK without prejudice and does not imply any admission or liability for the incident or its consequences.
