Annual booster vaccination is recommended. However, should Veterinary Surgeons conduct a risk-benefit analysis for individual animals to determine the frequency of revaccination with Vanguard 7, they should be aware of the following information. Serological data has indicated that most dogs, when given at least the first annual booster, can maintain protective levels of immunity to the viral components of Vanguard 7 for up to 4 years. For further information please contact the company.
The CAV-2 strain used in Vanguard 7 has not been associated in either laboratory or field studies with corneal opacity (”blue eye”) or uveitis associated with adenovirus type 1 (CAV-1).
Canine parvovirus disease in kennels and pet shops is a problem of intensive husbandry and must be treated as such. Without careful professional attention to management practices in such places, successful disease control may be difficult to achieve.
When used in accordance with the recommended vaccination regime, Vanguard 7 can aid in the reduction of environmental contamination with canine parvovirus.
