• For intravenous use only. • For intravenous use only. • VIGIV is administered at a dose of 6000 Units per kg, as soon as symptoms for complication(s) due to vaccinia vaccination appear . • Higher doses (e.g. 9000 Units per kg or 24,000 Units per kg) may be considered in the event that the patient does not respond to the initial dose of 6000 Units per kg . • For patients with risk factors for thrombosis, the maximum daily dose of VIGIV should not exceed 12,000 Units per kg
• Dosage for Treatment of Severe Complications of Vaccinia Vaccination Administer VIGIV at a dose of 6000 Units per kg, as soon as symptoms appear and are judged to be due to severe vaccinia-related complication
• Consider repeat dosing, depending on the severity of the symptoms and response to treatment; however, clinical data on repeat doses are lacking
• Consider higher doses (e.g. 9000 Units per kg) if the patient does not respond to the initial 6000 Units per kg dose
• Doses up to 24,000 Units per kg administered to healthy volunteers were well tolerated in clinical trials [see 14 CLINICAL STUDIES ]
• Preparation • Bring VIGIV vials to room temperature prior to dosing. • If frozen, thaw vial by placing in a refrigerator at 2°C to 8°C (36°F to 46°F) until the contents are thawed for approximately 14 hours

• SHAKING VIAL MAY CAUSE FOAMING. …

• Solution of gamma globulin (5% or 50 mg/mL) • 20 mL single-dose vial containing antibodies to vaccinia virus at ≥50,000 Units per vial Sterile solution available as 20 mL single-use vial containing a dose of ≥50,000 Units per vial ( 3 ).

Safety and effectiveness in the pediatric population (

Safety and effectiveness in the geriatric population (>65 yrs of age) has not been established for VIGIV.

• Discuss the risks and benefits of VIGIV with the patient before prescribing or administration. • Inform patients of the potential for hypersensitivity reactions, especially in individuals with previous reactions to human immune globulin and in individuals deficient in IgA [see 4 CONTRAINDICATIONS and Hypersensitivity ]
• Advise patients to be aware of the following symptoms associated with allergic reactions: hives, rash, chest tightness, wheezing, shortness of breath, or feeling light headed or dizzy when they stand. …

VIGIV is contraindicated in: • Isolated vaccinia keratitis. • Individuals with a history of anaphylaxis or prior severe systemic reaction associated with the parenteral administration of this or other human immune globulin preparations. • IgA-deficient patients with antibodies against IgA and a history of IgA hypersensitivity, as it contains trace amounts of IgA (40 mcg/mL). …

• Efficacy of live attenuated virus vaccines may be impaired by immune globulin administration; revaccination may be necessary ( 7.1 ) • Antibodies in VIGIV may interfere with some serological tests ( 7.2 ) 7.1 Live, Attenuated Vaccines Immune globulin administration may impair the efficacy of live attenuated vaccines such as measles, rubella, mumps and varicella. Defer vaccination with live virus vaccines until approximately three months after administration of VIGIV. Revaccinate people who received VIGIV shortly after live virus vaccination three months after the administration of the VIGIV. …

• Hypersensitivity to human immune globulin (acute anaphylaxis) ( 5.1 ) • Acute renal dysfunction/failure ( 5.2 ) • Thrombosis may occur with immune globulin products, including VIGIV. For patients at risk of thrombosis, administer VIGIV at the minimum dose and infusion rate practicable. Ensure adequate hydration in patients before administration. Monitor for signs and symptoms of thrombosis and assess blood viscosity in patients at risk for hyperviscosity ( 5.4 ) • Hemolysis or hemolytic anemia ( 5.5 ) • Aseptic meningitis syndrome (AMS) ( 5.6 ) • Noncardiogenic pulmonary edema [Transfusion-Related Acute Lung Injury (TRALI)] ( 5.7 ) • Transmission of infectious agents from human plasma ( 5. …
