Section 4.4 - Deleted "Thiomersal (an organomercuric compound) has been used in the manufacturing process of this medicinal product and residues of it are present in the final product. Therefore, sensitisation reactions may occur."
Section 4.8 - Added "The current formulation of Ambirix does not contain thiomersal (an organomercuric compound) or any preservative. In a clinical study conducted with 3 doses of the current formulation in adults, the incidence of pain, redness, swelling, fatigue, gastro-enteritis, headache and fever was comparable to the incidence observed with the former thiomersal and preservative containing vaccine formulation. The following adverse reactions have been reported following the widespread use of the former formulation"
Section 5.1 - Added "These data were generated with the former Ambirix formulation containing thiomersal and a preservative. A clinical study conducted with 3 doses of the current formulation in adults showed that the current formulation elicited similar seroprotection and seroconversion rates as compared to the former formulation.
