- The partially used BCG vials and empty vials must be returned back to cold chain point and stored in ILR in a separate container (preferably different colour box) or separate vaccine carrier with “NOT TO BE USED- Opened Adult BCG vials” label clearly marked.
- These vials should be discarded after 48 hours. In case of any reported AEFI, they will not be discarded but retained separately for investigation.
- If required, additional cold boxes for storing the returned vials can be demanded from the Immunization Division.
- All efforts should be made towards maximum consumption of the open vials within 4 hours of opening.
