Adverse reactions
Dogs:
Very common (> 1 animal / 10 animals treated): | Injection site swelling (≤ 2 cm, occassionally firm, may be present up to 25 days post-vaccination). |

Reporting adverse events is important. It allows continuous safety monitoring of a veterinary medicinal product. Reports should be sent, preferably via a veterinarian, to either the marketing authorisation holder or its local representative or the national competent authority via the national reporting system. See also the last section of the package leaflet for contact details.
Use during pregnancy or lactation
Pregnancy:
Can be used during pregnancy. The safety of this vaccine has not been investigated during the first 20 days of gestation.
Interactions
Safety and efficacy data are available which demonstrate that this vaccine can be administered at the same time but not mixed with the live vaccines in the Nobivac range against canine distemper, canine contagious hepatitis caused by canine adenovirus type 1, canine parvovirus disease and respiratory disease caused by canine adenovirus type 2, where authorised.
Safety data are available which demonstrate that this vaccine can be administered at the same time but not mixed with the Nobivac range of vaccines mentioned above together with the live Nobivac parainfluenza vaccine and the inactivated vaccines in the Nobivac range against leptospirosis caused by L. interrogans serogroup Canicola serovar Canicola, L. interrogans serogroup Icterohaemorrhagiae serovar Copenhageni, L. interrogans serogroup Australis serovar Bratislava, and L. kirschneri serogroup Grippotyphosa serovar Bananal/Lianguang.
In addition, for the live canine parainfluenza vaccine there are antibody response data, and for the inactivated canine leptospirosis vaccines there are antibody response data and other immunity data which support the use of the vaccine at the same time but not mixed with the mentioned Nobivac range of vaccines.
When this vaccine is administered in association with the relevant Nobivac vaccines, the demonstrated safety and efficacy claims of the vaccine are the same as when this vaccine is administered alone.
The product information of the relevant Nobivac vaccines used in association with this vaccine should be consulted before administration.
No information is available on the safety and efficacy of this vaccine when used with any other veterinary medicinal product except the products 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.
Amounts to be administered and administration route
Subcutaneous use, 1 ml dose per vaccination.
Dogs can be vaccinated from the age of 6 weeks onwards.
Allow the vaccine to reach room temperature (15 °C – 25 °C) before use.
Primary vaccination: Two vaccinations with an interval of 4 weeks.
Revaccination: A single vaccination, administered 7 months after primary vaccination with this vaccine, is sufficient to maintain protection against Bordetella bronchiseptica for a further year. Thereafter, a single vaccination should be administered, annually. In case revaccination at 7 months is missed, a single vaccination within 12 months after primary vaccination is sufficient to extend protection against Bordetella bronchiseptica for a further year.
This vaccine can also be used for revaccination in a schedule where Nobivac KC has been used for primary vaccination. A single vaccination, administered one year after primary vaccination with Nobivac KC, is sufficient to prolong immunity against Bordetella bronchiseptica for another year.
Revaccination after primary vaccination with Nobivac KC: One vaccination, annually.
For associated use: When this vaccine is administered in associated use (i.e. not mixed) with another vaccine in the Nobivac range as indicated under section ‘Interactions’, the vaccines should be given subcutaneously at the same time, at a different site. Dogs should not be younger than the minimum age recommended for the other Nobivac vaccine, as stated in the respective product information.
