Duramune DAPPi + L
Dosage and administration
The vaccine is to be administered subcutaneously to dogs of the age of 6 weeks and older.
Aseptically reconstitute the contents of the freeze-dried vial using the liquid vaccine. Shake well before use. The entire contents of the reconstituted vial should be administered as a single dose.
Primary Vaccination
Pups 6-10 weeks of age:
The initial vaccination course consists of two vaccinations. The first vaccination should be given between 6-8 weeks of age and the second vaccination should be given from 10 weeks of age.
Pups of at least 10 weeks of age:
Two vaccinations should be given with an interval of 2-4 weeks between doses.
Booster Vaccination
Year 1 Annual booster - one dose of Duramune® DAPPi + L
Year 4 Booster - one dose of Duramune® DAPPi + L
For continued protection against canine parainfluenza and Leptospira an annual booster vaccination with one dose of Duramune® DAPPi + L or Duramune® PPi + L is recommended. The duration of protection of the CPI component has not been determined and an annual booster may not be sufficient if exposure to a high risk environment is expected.
Advice on Correct Administration
Syringes and needles should not have been sterilised chemically or be above ambient temperature. Do not use chemicals to disinfect or sterilise skin. Avoid the introduction of contamination during use. Sterile needles and syringes should be used for administration. Aseptic precautions should be observed.
