Indications for Use, Specifying the Target Species

A duration of immunity of at least 6 months has been demonstrated.

Use during pregnancy, lactation or lay
Do not use during pregnancy.
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. Therefore the safety and efficacy of this product when used with any other (either when used on the same day or at different times) has not been demonstrated.
Amounts to be administered and administration route
Reconstitute the vaccine by mixing the lyophilised fraction with the suspension in 2 steps:
1. Inject 10ml of the liquid fraction on the lyophilised plug in the freeze dried vial.
2. Shake well and extract the reconstituted lyophilised fraction from the freeze dried vial and mix with the liquid fraction in the liquid fraction vial.
Shake well before use.
Vaccination programme:
For cattle over 3 months of age:
Two doses of 5ml of reconstituted vaccine should be given three to four weeks apart to cattle over the age of 3 months, via the intramuscular route.
Ideally, calves should be vaccinated at least 2 weeks before transport, mixing of animals of different origins, housing, or any other event which may cause the animals to be stressed or exposed to new infections. Calves are usually most susceptible during early autumn. The vaccine will protect animals against BRSV, PI3, IBR and BVD for at least 6 months, which will cover the period of risk from respiratory infections.
Should cattle be at risk from these respiratory diseases at a subsequent time, the same vaccination scheme is recommended at least 14 days prior to the period of expected disease challenge.
For cattle over 3 weeks of age:
For cattle from 3 weeks of age, vaccination leads to seroconversion of seronegative calves vaccinated at 3 and 6 weeks of age. The influence of maternally derived antibodies has not been studied in detail and it is therefore recommended that calves vaccinated before 12 weeks of age are re-vaccinated at 12 weeks of age.
Overdose (symptoms, emergency procedures, antidotes), if necessary
No symptoms other than those mentioned in Section 4.6.
Withdrawal Period
Zero days
