It can be given to children aged 12 months to 12 years of age. Protection against these infections is important as they can cause serious problems in some people OBJECTIVE. A refrigerator-stable formulation of ProQuad has been developed to expand the utility of ProQuad to areas in which maintenance of a frozen cold chain (−15°C or colder) during storage and transport may not be feasible. The objective of this study was to demonstrate that the immunogenicity and safety profiles of a refrigerator-stable formulation of ProQuad are similar to the. recommends keeping M-M-R® II in the freezer along with ProQuad® (MMRV), if adequate space is available.
