One dose of 2.0 ml per animal should be administered intramuscularly in the neck to pigs from the age of 7 days onwards.

Avoid stress in the animals around the time of vaccination.

No information is available on the safety and efficacy of this vaccine when used with any other veterinary medicinal product. 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 medicinal product.

Systemic adverse reactions, such as body temperature increases (up to 1.9°C), depression, shivering and bristling are very common at 4 hours post vaccination. These reactions resolve spontaneously within 24 hours without treatment. Anaphylactic reactions and nervous signs are uncommon.

Local tissue reactions in the form of a palpable (but not visible) swelling at the injection site are very common and last for up to 2 days. The area of local tissue reactions may reach 0.3 cm in diameter.

The frequency of possible adverse effects is defined using the following convention:

After administration of a two-fold maximum dose by the recommended route, no other symptoms than those described above can be observed. However, the duration may be prolonged (body temperature increases up to 2 days and local tissue reactions up to 3 days) and the area of local tissue reactions may reach 1.0 cm in diameter. Administration of an overdose of the vaccine has not been investigated in 1 week-old pigs.
