Since the product is used in public health institutes, the marketing authorisation holder has informed the Croatian Institute for Public Health about the recall.

The recall will cause a shortage of the aforementioned vaccine. Upon the request of the authorised wholesaler, the Agency will approve by the normalisation of the market which is expected in the beginning of 2013, the import of the product under the legal exemption scheme.

The public will be duly informed of any new information about the affordability of the product.
