Do not use in turkeys in lay.
No information is available on the safety and efficacy of this vaccine when used with any other veterinary medicinal product, 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.
Do not mix with any other veterinary medicinal product, except diluents or other component recommended for use with the veterinary medicinal product.
Adverse Reactions
In rare cases, turkeys may display mild TRT like symptoms (i.e. nasal exudate) from day 7 to 8 post vaccination. In field trials, reactions of a transient nature lasting 1-2 days were seen rarely between day 10 and 21 days post vaccination.
The frequency of adverse reactions is defined using the following convention:
- very common (more than 1 in 10 animals treated displaying adverse reaction(s))
- common (more than 1 but less than 10 animals in 100 animals treated)
- uncommon (more than 1 but less than 10 animals in 1,000 animals treated)
- rare (more than 1 but less than 10 animals in 10,000 animals treated)
- very rare (less than 1 animal in 10,000 animals treated, including isolated reports).
Administration of a 10 fold overdose does not result in significantly worse adverse reactions to those seen after administration of a single dose.
Special Warnings
The use of the vaccine in turkeys older than 10 days does not induce sufficient protection due to the resistance against TRT increasing with age.
In order to prevent risks of dissemination of the vaccine in the site, all the birds at the same site should be correctly vaccinated.
Do not vaccinate in mixed breeding farms where turkeys and other avian species, except chickens, are raised. The virus contained in the vaccine was shown to spread for approximately 10 days. This spreading appeared to be without any consequences for chickens.
There is a possibility that the virus may be disseminated to other avian species and care should be taken to avoid contact with other birds.
Withdrawal period
Zero days
User warnings
If the vaccine is administered by spray, personal protective equipment consisting of safety goggles and dust mask or a helmet with filtered air circulation should be worn.
