Is It Safe To Use The Oral Typhoid Vaccine That Wasn't Refrigerated ?

I forgot to refrigerate the oral typhoid vaccine (it was at about 60-65 degrees for 2 weeks before I opened the pharmacy bag and saw the refrigerate notice). I then put it in the refrigerator. Do I just need to tell the pharmacy what happened and ask for another dose?
