Symptom narrative

patient received Spikevax (Moderna) 2025?2026 formula at pharmacy. A post-administration inventory review identified that this unit had exceeded the 60-day refrigerated storage limit after removal from the freezer (manufacturer guidance: store 2?8?°C for up to 60 days or until printed carton expiry, whichever comes first; do not refreeze). Therefore, the dose is considered expired/invalid. Per CDC COVID-19 vaccine administration errors & deviations guidance, expired/invalid doses should be repeated with an age-appropriate product; the invalid dose does not count toward the schedule. Patient was notified 2/5/26, counseled, and a replacement Spikevax dose was suggested and arranged for. Quality actions: Remaining out-of-date inventory quarantined and discarded per policy. Staff re-educated on beyond-use dating (BUD) expiration of 60 days once removed from the freezer at the DC, labeling boxes with this BUD, rotating stock to keep expiration dates used appropriately and checking expiration dates when doing monthly cycle counts.
