1. Convert the label concentration to the same unit as the ordered dose. The label reads $$400 \, \mu\text{g/mL}$$. Since $$1 \, \text{mg} = 1000 \, \mu\text{g}$$, we have:
   $$
   400 \, \mu\text{g/mL} = \frac{400}{1000} \, \text{mg/mL} = 0.4 \, \text{mg/mL}.
   $$

2. The dosage ordered is $$0.6 \, \text{mg}$$. To find the required volume in mL to obtain $$0.6 \, \text{mg}$$ with a concentration of $$0.4 \, \text{mg/mL}$$, use the formula:
   $$
   \text{Volume (mL)} = \frac{\text{Dose (mg)}}{\text{Concentration (mg/mL)}}.
   $$

3. Substitute the known values:
   $$
   \text{Volume (mL)} = \frac{0.6 \, \text{mg}}{0.4 \, \text{mg/mL}} = 1.5 \, \text{mL}.
   $$

Thus, $$1.5 \, \text{mL}$$ of the solution should be administered.
To administer $$0.6 \, \text{mg}$$ of the solution, use $$1.5 \, \text{mL}$$.
