H1N1 Vaccine Disposal Guidelines

PharmEcology Services, WM Healthcare Solutions, Inc

PharmEcology, part of WM Healthcare Solutions, introduces a summary of the disposal considerations for the various H1N1 vaccines currently on the market. Relying heavily on manufacturer package inserts, which include specific information about each formulation, PharmEcology has developed recommendations for disposing of H1N1 vaccines from Novartis, Sanofi Pasteur, CSL Limited, and MedImmune. Depending on the manufacturer, the guidelines indicate which vaccines should be disposed of as federally hazardous waste, non-hazardous pharmaceutical waste, or biohazardous waste. Additional details are available to subscribers to the PharmE Waste Wizard and the PharmE Inventory Analysis.
