Contra-indications, warnings, etc
Vaccinate healthy animals only.
Do not use during pregnancy.
The canine adenovirus Type 2 and canine parvovirus vaccinal strains may be shed from vaccinated animals for a number of days following vaccination. However, due to the low pathogenicity of these strains, it is not necessary to keep vaccinated animals separated from non-vaccinated animals.
High levels of maternally derived antibodies (MDA) may interfere with the response to vaccination. Although the vaccine has been shown to be efficacious in the presence of levels of MDA that are likely to be encountered under field conditions, where for any reason it is likely that particularly high levels of MDA are present (for example against the CPV component), this should be taken into account when planning the timing of vaccinations.
In very rare cases, vaccinated dogs may have a transient swelling 4-6 hours after vaccination which resolves after approximately 7 days.
In very rare cases, anaphylactic reaction occurs (e.g. circulatory shock/hypotension, loss of consciousness/collapse, pale mucous membrane, vomiting) may occur. If such reaction occurs, appropriate treatment (adrenaline or an equivalent) should be administered without delay.
Anorexia and ataxia have been reported very rarely.
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).
Occasional, transient swellings may occur at the injection site after vaccination with an overdose. No treatment is necessary in most cases of overdose. However, if a systemic anaphylactic reaction occurs (e.g. vomiting) administer adrenaline or an equivalent.
Safety and efficacy data demonstrate that this vaccine can be administered subcutaneously in dogs on the same day as Versiguard Rabies either mixed or at different sites. The duration of immunity for Vanguard 7 when used with Versiguard Rabies has not been established.
After concurrent or mixed administration of Versiguard Rabies and Vanguard 7, vaccinated dogs may have a transient swelling (up to 6 cm) at the injection site and a transient swelling of the sub-mandibular and/or pre-scapular lymph nodes at the injection site 4 hours after vaccination. These signs resolve within 24 hours.
Do not mix with any other veterinary medicinal product, except Versiguard Rabies.
User warnings
In case of accidental self-injection, wash the area immediately with water. If symptoms develop, seek medical advice immediately and show the package leaflet or the label to the physician.
