Hi and hank you so much for this query.

I am afraid this vaccine can no longer be used because of how it has been stored. The temperature of a freezer is typical less than zero degrees which is out of the range of temperature recommended for the storage of this vaccine. I will suggest that you allow the vaccines with the pharmacist and go there each time to collect for administration rather than bringing them home when you are not too sure of the storage conditions.

I hope this helps. I wish you well. Feel free to ask for more information and clarification if need be. Thanks.
