Dosage and administration
Vaccinate pigs by the intramuscular route in the neck behind the ear.
Single dose vaccination schedule
A single dose of 2 ml in pigs from 3 weeks of age.
Split dose vaccination schedule
Two injections each of 1 ml in pigs from 3 days of age with an interval of approximately 3 weeks.
Choice of dosing regimen, including age of vaccination should take into account farm circumstances. In situations where the level of maternally-derived antibodies against PCV2 is expected to be moderately high or very high consider delaying the age of vaccination.
Advice on correct administration
Shake well before administration and intermittently during the process of vaccination.
The use of a multi-dosing syringe is recommended. Use vaccination devices according to the manufacturer’s instructions. The vaccine is to be administered aseptically. During storage, a slight black deposit may appear, and the emulsion may separate into two distinct phases. Upon shaking, the black deposit disappears, and the emulsion becomes homogenous again.
