Interaction with other medicinal products and other forms of interaction
No information is available on the safety and efficacy from the concurrent use of this vaccine with any other product except Rispoval™ Pasteurella (inactivated Pasteurella haemolytica vaccine), Tracherine™ (live infectious bovine rhinotracheitis vaccine) and Imuresp™ RP (live infectious bovine rhinotracheitis / Parainfluenza type 3 vaccine). 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
Dosage and route of administration:
Reconstitute each 5-dose vial with 10 ml of sterile diluent. Immediately give 2 ml reconstituted vaccine intramuscularly.
As far as possible take reasonable aseptic precautions in reconstituting and withdrawing vaccine.
Reconstituted vaccine should be used immediately.
Do not use chemically sterilised syringes or needles, as these will affect the effectiveness of the vaccine.
Vaccination programme:
In animals 4 months of age or older, give 2 doses three to four weeks apart.
In younger animals, give two doses with a three to four week interval, with a third dose at 4 months of age. The third dose is required due to the possible interference from high titres of maternally derived antibodies during the first few months of life. An interval of at least 14 days should be observed between the second and third injection.
Ideally animals should be vaccinated during the autumn or at housing prior to the period of a greatest risk.
Overdose (symptoms, emergency procedures, antidotes), if necessary
No reactions other than those quoted under Section 4.6 have been observed following administration of ten times the recommended dose.
Withdrawal period
Zero days.
