Symptom narrative

Patient not knowing that, the expiration date was 4/4 of 25/ I might just gave it to her like maybe 20 minutes ago; This non-serious case was reported by a other health professional via call center representative and described the occurrence of expired vaccine used in a 24-year-old female patient who received HBV (Engerix B) (batch number 79S54, expiry date 04-APR-2025) for prophylaxis. On 12-MAY-2025, the patient received the 1st dose of Engerix B. On 12-MAY-2025, an unknown time after receiving Engerix B, the patient experienced expired vaccine used (Verbatim: Patient not knowing that, the expiration date was 4/4 of 25/ I might just gave it to her like maybe 20 minutes ago). The outcome of the expired vaccine used 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. Additional Information: GSK receipt date: 12-MAY-2025 The certified medical assistant called to report she had given the vaccine to a patient without knowing or realizing that the expiration date was 4th April 2025 which led expired vaccine used. She believed she had administered it approximately 20 minutes prior to the call. She wanted to confirm whether the patient needed to repeat the first dose, as it was a Hepatitis B vaccine. She stated that the patient had just received the first of the three-dose series.
