Additional Information: GSK Receipt Date: 05-MAY-2025 On 23rd April 2025, a 47 year old male received Priorix intramuscularly in the deltoid instead of subcutaneously, which led to Subcutaneous injection formulation administered by other route and Inappropriate age at vaccine administration. The patient/reporter was not certain if he had received prior MMR injections in the past as a child, though he assumed that he had. However, since he was preparing for international travel, it was recommended that he receive a Priorix dose before his departure.
