Target species
Pigs
Indications for use
For the active immunisation of female pigs for the protection of progeny against transplacental infection caused by porcine parvovirus.
For the active immunisation of male and female pigs to reduce clinical signs (skin lesions and fever) of swine erysipelas caused by Erysipelothrix rhusiopathiae, serotype 1 and serotype 2.
Onset of immunity:
Porcine parvovirus: from the beginning of the gestation period.
E. rhusiopathiae: three weeks after completion of the basic vaccination scheme.
Duration of immunity:
Porcine parvovirus: vaccination provides foetal protection for the duration of gestation. Revaccination should be performed prior to each gestation, refer to “Dosage”
E. rhusiopathiae: vaccination protects against swine erysipelas until the time of the recommended revaccination (approximately six months after the basic vaccination scheme), refer to “Dosage”.
Contra-indications
Do not use in case of hypersensitivity to the active substances, to the adjuvants or to any of the excipients.
Special warnigns for each target species
Vaccinate healthy pigs only.
Special preacuations for use
Special precautions for use in animals
None.
Special precautions to be taken by the person administering the veterinary medicinal product to animals
In case of adverse reactions following accidental self-injection, seek medical advice immediately and show the package leaflet or the label to the physician.
Adverse reactions (frequency and seriousness)
Very common adverse reactions:
-Mild to moderate inflammation at the injection site that typically resolves within four days but in some cases may persist for up to 12 days post-vaccination.
Common adverse reactions:
-A transient increase in body temperature within the first 6 hours after vaccination, which spontaneously resolves within 24 hours.
Very rare adverse reactions:
-Anaphylactic-type reactions have been reported in spontaneous reports and appropriate symptomatictreatment is recommended
The frequency of adverse reactions is defined using the following convention:
-very common (more than 1 in 10 animals displaying adverse reactions during the course of one treatment).
-common (more than 1 but less than 10 animals in 100 animals)
-uncommon (more than 1 but less than 10 animals in 1,000 animals)
-rare (more than 1 but less than 10 animals in 10,000 animals)
-very rare (less than 1 animal in 10,000 animals, including isolated reports).
Use during pregnancy, lactation or lay
Can be used during pregnancy and lactation.
Interaction with other medicinal products
Safety and efficacy data are available which demonstrate that this vaccine can be mixed with UNISTRAIN PRRS (where this vaccine is authorised) and administered at one injection site. The product information of UNISTRAIN PRRS should be consulted before administration of the mixed products.
The mixed administration of UNISTRAIN PRRS and ERYSENG PARVO should only be used when vaccinating animals prior to mating.
For mixed use, the onset and duration of immunity of the parvovirus component and the onset of immunity of the Erysipelas component have been demonstrated to be equivalent to those determined for ERYSENG PARVO when used alone. However, the duration of immunity of the Erysipelas component following mixed use has not been investigated.
No information is available on the safety and efficacy of this vaccine when used with any other veterinary medicinal product except the product mentioned above. A decision to use this vaccine before or after any other veterinary medicinal product therefore needs to be made on a case by case basis.
Amounts to be administered and administration route
Administer one dose of 2 ml by intramuscular injection in the neck muscles according to the following schedule:
Basic vaccination:
Pigs from 6 months of age which have not been previously vaccinated with the product should be given two injections with an interval of 3–4 weeks. The second injection should be administered 3–4 weeks before mating.
Revaccination:
A single injection should be given 2–3 weeks prior to each subsequent mating (approximately every 6 months).
For simultaneous use with UNISTRAIN®PRRS in sows for reproduction from 6 months of age, the mixed administration of ERYSENG®PARVO and UNISTRAIN®PRRS should only be used when vaccinating animals prior to mating.
The following instructions should be used: the contents of a single vial of UNISTRAIN PRRS should be reconstituted with the contents of a single vial of ERYSENG PARVO. A single dose (2 ml) of the mixed vaccines should be injected within a period of 2 hours via intramuscular use.
UNISTRAIN PRRS ERYSENG PARVO
10 doses + 10 doses (20 ml)
25 doses + 25 doses (50 ml)
50 doses + 50 doses (100 ml)
Allow the vaccine to reach room temperature (15–25 °C) before administration.
Shake well before use.
Overdose
No adverse reactions other than those mentioned in “Adverse reactions” were observed after the administration of a 2-fold vaccine dose.
Withdrawal periods
Zero days.
