A sealed vial could last for years without issue if it is stored at stable temperatures away from the light. Concerns with age are primarily carrier oil oxidation assuming that the vial was sterilized as it should be. A punctured vial that has a preservative in it (See Question \ref{6-17}) should last at least a year or whatever the life time of the vial is (i.e., how long until you use it all). The “discard after 28 days” listing on vials is simply the minimum requirement for how long manufacturers must guarantee sterility, not the maximum shelf life.

Stable room temperature and away from light. High heat and UV can cause degradation of the carrier oil, whereas low temperatures can cause crystallization. Crystals can be dissolved and reincorporated, but it’s a potential cause for irritation if they aren’t fully dissolved. This goes for both sealed and unsealed vials.
Additionally: before drawing from a vial, partially fill your syringe with air so that when you draw fluid from the vial you replace it with an equivalent volume of air. This simple step prevents a vacuum from forming over time inside the vial which can make drawing sigificantly more difficult.

\textit{Dead space} refers to the amount of fluid that is wasted when performing an injection. This is fluid that is trapped in the syringe or in the needle. With a standard Luer lock needle/syringe this can be up to 0.1mL, whereas in an insulin needle can be as low as 0.003mL.
