Comirnaty (Pfizer-BioNTech COVID 19 Vaccine)
The longer USE BEFORE date (expiry date after thaw) has now been implemented. All deliveries of Comirnaty will now display the extended “Use Before” date and the delivery will have a month’s shelf-life.
If you have any unopened vials that were delivered this week (on or since Monday 17th) and have exceeded the “Use Before” date, the new extended date can be applied to these vials by adding 26 days to the printed “Use Before” provided that they were maintained between
+2oC and +8oC.
If there are unopened vials in the fridge delivered before Monday 17th please contact NIO directly and you will be advised. Please use the temporary email address for the NIO – immunisationnio@gmail.com until HSE emails are restored. Please note that no patient identifiable details should be sent to this email address.
