Calves should be vaccinated at least 7 days before transport, mixing of animals of different origins, housing or any other event which may cause the animals to be stressed or exposed to new infections. Calves are usually most susceptible during early autumn. The vaccine will protect animals for at least 17 weeks, which will cover the period of risk from pasteurellosis.
Do not vaccinate unhealthy animals, pregnant animals or heifers at the time of breeding.
Safety and efficacy data are available which demonstrate that this vaccine can be administered on the same day but not mixed with Rispoval RS.
No information is available on the safety and efficacy of this vaccine when used with any other veterinary medicinal product except the product mentioned above. A decision to use this vaccine before or after any other veterinary medicinal product therefore needs to be made on a case by case basis.
Do not mix with any other veterinary medicinal product except the emulsion supplied with the product.
A transient local swelling at the injection site is very commonly observed within 24 to 48 hours post vaccination. The swellings are up to 14 cm in diameter and usually disappear within 2 weeks post vaccination, with no need for treatment. On rare occasions, the local reaction may take longer to resolve (up to 52 days).
A transient increase in rectal temperature (up to a maximum of 40.9°C) is very commonly observed within 1 to 4 hours post vaccination. Temperatures return to normal within 4 days without treatment.
Rarely, hypersensitivity reactions may occur. In such cases, appropriate treatment e.g. adrenaline and/or antihistamine should be given without delay. Muscular trembling has also been noted 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)
