Listen in to the latest Drug Safety Matters podcast Long Read about how to prevent medication errors with two-component vaccines.

The Institute for Safe Medication Practices offers straightforward advice that could prevent those errors from happening again.

This episode is part of the Drug Safety Matters podcast Long Reads series – the most topical stories from UMC’s pharmacovigilance magazine, brought to you in audio format. Find the original article here.
