Mydiavac
Contra-indications, warnings, etc
Do not administer to unhealthy animals.
Transient pyrexia and injection site inflammatory reactions may occur. The pyrexia is not associated with any change in appetite or general demeanour. The injection site reaction, which may be palpable as a nodule of approximately 30mm diameter, will normally resolve within 5 weeks.
As with all vaccines, occasional hypersensitivity reactions may occur, in such cases appropriate treatment should be given, e.g. an antihistamine or corticosteroid.
Some animals in any population may not respond to vaccination as a result of immunosuppression or for other reasons.
Store all medicines out of reach of children.
For animal treatment only.
Mydivac may be administered simultaneously in a vaccination programme with a commercial Toxoplasma gondeii vaccine containing live tachyzoites of the S48 strain. Concomitant administration of Mydiavac and such a commercial Toxoplasma gondeii vaccine does not significantly affect the serological effect to either vaccine or cause any ill effects, provided different sites of injection, different syringes and needles are used. Mydiavac must not be administered concomitantly with live Toxoplasma gondeii vaccine to pregnant animals. No other information is available on concomitant use.

Expert, PROMPT, surgical attention is required and may necessitate early incision and irrigation of the injected area, especially where there is involvement of finger pulp or tendon.
