On 05-FEB-2025, the patient received the 1st dose of Shingrix (subcutaneous). On 05-FEB-2025, an unknown time after receiving Shingrix, the patient experienced intramuscular formulation administered by other route (Verbatim: Wrong route of administration). The outcome of the intramuscular formulation administered by other route was not applicable. Additional Information: GSK Receipt Date: 27-MAR-2025 The healthcare professional explained that a patient received their first dose of Shingrix on 5th February 2025, but it was given subcutaneously instead of intramuscular which led to intramuscular formulation administered by other route.
