Subject: 
Review of GSK's draft container and package labeling for KinrixTM Diphtheria and Tetanus Toxoids and Acellular Pertussis Adsorbed and Inactivated Poliovirus Vaccine Combined
BLA 125260

APLB reviewed the proposed Kinrix container and package labeling in the EDR received in CBER on April 9, 2007. The first action due date is February 7, 2008. APLB has the following comments:

Container: We recommend including the "Rx only" statement to comply with 21 CFR 610.60(a)(6).

Package:
We recommend revising the statement "Preservative Free," on the front panel to "No Preservative," to comply with 21 CFR 610.61(e), "if no preservative is used and the absence of a preservative is a safety factor, the words "no preservative," shall appear on the label affixed to each package."

If you have any questions regarding our comments please contact Maryann Gallagher @ 301-827-6330.
