4.6 Adverse reactions (frequency and seriousness)

Systemic adverse reactions, such as body temperature increases (up to 1.9°C), depression, shivering and bristling are very common at 4 hours post vaccination. These reactions resolve spontaneously within 24 hours without treatment. Anaphylactic and neurological reactions are uncommon (<1/100).

Local tissue reactions in the form of palpable (but not visible) swelling at the injection site are very common and last for up to 2 days. The area of local tissue reactions may reach 0.3 cm in diameter.

4.7 Use during pregnancy, lactation or lay

Do not use in pregnant or lactating animals.

4.8 Interaction with other medicinal products and other forms of interaction

No information is available on the safety and efficacy of this vaccine when used with any other veterinary medicinal product. 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.

After administration of a two-fold maximum dose by the recommended route to 3 weeks-old pigs, no other symptoms than those described under “Adverse reactions” can be observed. However, the duration may be prolonged (body temperature increases up to 2 days and local tissue reactions up to 3 days) and the area of local tissue reactions may reach 1.0 cm in diameter. Administration of an overdose of the vaccine has not been investigated in 1 week-old piglets.

4.11 Withdrawal period(s)
