Dose to be administered and administration route
Nasal use.
Calves can be vaccinated from the day of birth onwards.
Reconstitute lyophilisate with solvent as described below. Ensure that the lyophilisate is completely reconstituted before use. The reconstituted vaccine is an off-pink or pink coloured suspension.
Administer a single dose of 2 ml reconstituted vaccine per animal, 1 ml in each nostril.
Instructions for reconstitution:
1, 5 and 10 dose presentations
For proper reconstitution of the lyophilisate, transfer the solvent to the vial with the lyophilisate (2 ml for the 1 dose, 10 ml for the 5 dose and 20 ml for the 10 dose; also see the table below) using a needle and syringe. The vacuum in the vaccine vial will allow quick emptying of the syringe. Then resuspend by shaking. The vaccine suspension can be drawn up in a syringe with a clean tip. The vaccine in the syringe is now ready for administration, directly from the tip of the syringe. A spraying device is not required.
20, 25 and 50 dose presentations
For proper reconstitution of the lyophilisate, transfer 20 ml of the solvent to the vial with the lyophilisate using a needle and syringe. The vacuum in the vaccine vial will allow quick emptying of the syringe. Then resuspend by shaking. Completely draw up the vaccine suspension and transfer it back to the solvent vial in order to get the correct dose/volume ratio for the respective presentation (40 ml for the 20 dose, 50 ml for the 25 dose and 100 ml for the 50 dose; also see the table below). The vaccine suspension can be drawn up in a syringe with a clean tip. The vaccine in the syringe is now ready for administration, directly from the tip of the syringe. A spraying device is not required.
When vaccinating animals, it is recommended to change syringes or tips of a multidose syringe between animals to avoid transmission of pathogens.

Adverse reactions
A mild and transient nasal discharge may very commonly occur during two days following vaccination. Mild and transient spontaneous coughing may commonly occur which normally resolves in three days. A mild and transient ocular discharge may commonly occur which normally resolves in two days. A transient rise in respiration rate may commonly occur which normally resolves within four days. A transient minor rise in body temperature may very commonly occur following vaccination (very rarely up to 41.1 °C) which normally resolves within four days.
The frequency of adverse reactions is defined using the following convention:
- very common (more than 1 in 10 animals treated displaying adverse reaction(s))
- common (more than 1 but less than 10 animals in 100 animals treated)
- uncommon (more than 1 but less than 10 animals in 1,000 animals treated)
- rare (more than 1 but less than 10 animals in 10,000 animals treated)
- very rare (less than 1 animal in 10,000 animals treated, including isolated reports).
