Reconstitute the vaccine with 1 ml solvent or 1 ml (1 dose) of the inactivated vaccines as per 'Interaction with other medicinal products and other forms of interaction'
Subcutaneous use.
Avoid contamination of vaccine with traces of chemical sterilising agents. Do not use chemicals such as disinfectant or spirit to disinfect the skin prior to inoculation.
Maternal antibodies can negatively interfere with the efficacy of a vaccine. Strict adherence to the vaccination programme is therefore recommended.
Vaccination Programme
Primary course vaccination
A single injection should establish active immunity to disease caused by canine parvovirus infection in dogs of 10 weeks of age or older. Where earlier protection is required a first dose may be given to puppies from 4 weeks of age, but because maternally derived passive antibody can interfere with the response to vaccination a final dose at 10 weeks of age or older is generally recommended.
Booster vaccination
It is recommended that dogs be revaccinated every 3 years.
