Store both the vaccine antigen and the diluent in a refrigerator at 36°F–46°F (2°C–8°C). Do not freeze. Protect from light. After reconstitution, administer Dengvaxia immediately or store refrigerated at 36°F–46°F (2°C–8°C) and use within 30 minutes.

Do not use the vaccine if it has been reconstituted for over 30 minutes. Contact your public health immunization program or the manufacturer for advice if vaccination occurs using vaccine that has been reconstituted more than 30 minutes, or in the event of other storage or handling errors.
