Clinical particulars
Target species
Cattle.
Indications for use, specifying the target species
For active immunisation of cattle in the absence of maternally derived antibodies against:
- parainfluenza 3 virus, to reduce virus excretion due to infection
- bovine respiratory syncytial virus, to reduce virus excretion due to infection
- bovine viral diarrhoea virus, to reduce virus excretion due to infection
- Mannheimia haemolytica serotype A1, to reduce clinical signs and lung lesions.
Onset of immunity:
3 weeks
Duration of immunity:
6 months
Contraindications
None.
Special warnings for each target species
Vaccinate healthy animals only
Special precautions for use in animals
Safety and efficacy studies were performed in sero-negative calves. The efficacy of the vaccination has not been demonstrated in presence of antibodies. The level of antibody response may be reduced by the presence of maternal antibodies. In the presence of maternal antibodies, timing of initial vaccination of calves should be planned accordingly.
Special precautions to be taken by the person administering the veterinary medicinal product to animals
In case of accidental self- injection, seek medical advice immediately and show the package leaflet or the label to the physician.
Special precautions for the protection of the environment
Not applicable.
Adverse reactions (frequency and seriousness)
Cattle:
Very common
(>1 animal / 10 animals treated):
Injection site swelling*
Common
(1 to 10 animals / 100 animals treated):
Hyperthermia***
Very rare
(<1 animal / 10,000 animals treated, including isolated reports):
Anaphylactic-type reactions***
Injection site pain ****
* This swelling could reach up to 10 cm or more in diameter and may be associated with pain, and usually progressively reduces and disappears within 6 weeks after vaccination.
** Transient and slight, higher after the second injection (1.5°C at most) lasting up to 3 days after vaccination.
*** Appropriate symptomatic treatment should be administered.
**** Associated with injection site swelling.
Reporting adverse events is important. It allows continuous safety monitoring of a veterinary medicinal product. Reports should be sent, preferably via a veterinarian, to either the marketing authorisation holder or its local representative or the national competent authority via the national reporting system. See the package leaflet for respective contact details.

Primary vaccination
Calves from non-immune dams: two doses three weeks apart from 2 weeks of age
For calves from immune dams or where the immune status of the dam is unknown, the vaccination scheme should be adapted at the discretion of the veterinarian to take into account potential interference of maternally derived antibodies with the response to vaccination.
Revaccination
Administer one dose six months after completion of the primary vaccination scheme.
The efficacy of revaccination was demonstrated by measurement of the serological response and has not been assessed by challenge.
Overdose (symptoms, emergency procedures, antidotes), if necessary
No adverse events other than those mentioned in the "Adverse reactions" section were observed after the administration of a 2-fold overdose.
Withdrawal period(s)
Zero days.
