What this means for you
Minor labeling or packaging issue, or a voluntary precautionary recall. Risk of harm is low but real — follow the manufacturer's instructions.
Our severity reasoning: The recall is classified as FDA Class III, which indicates a remote possibility of adverse health consequences, and the hazard is a theoretical risk from live vaccine exposure rather than a confirmed pathogen or injury.
