What should I do with my child who needs to take my second dose of Fluenz Tetra after January 19?

According to the manufacturer, pharmacies can order the intranasal vaccine against Fluenz Tetra until January 12, 2023. This is the last pool of the drug available for sale this season. The expiration date of this batch of vaccine is January 19, 2023. The flu vaccine is seasonal and specific supply volumes are contracted before the autumn and winter season. The short shelf life from the moment of manufacture may be due to the fact that Fluenz Tetra is a live vaccine. Keep in mind that a new flu vaccine is created every year. Normally, one dose of vaccine is administered. The second dose of Fluenz Tetra - after a break of at least 4 weeks - should be given to children who have not been previously vaccinated against influenza. In a two-dose schedule, it is optimal to administer the same vaccine. However, if there is no such possibility, and there are no contraindications, the doctor may decide to use a mixed scheme, i.e. vaccination with another preparation (e.g. intramuscular vaccine). You can also meet with the approach that a child in such a situation will be vaccinated with simply one dose of the preparation.
