Indications
Active immunisation of cats aged 8 weeks and older:
- | against feline viral rhinotracheitis to reduce clinical signs, |
- | against calicivirus infection to reduce clinical signs, |
- | against Chlamydophila felis infection to reduce clinical signs, |
- | against feline panleucopenia to prevent mortality and clinical signs, |
- | against leukaemia to prevent persistent viraemia and clinical signs of the related disease. |
Onset of immunity: Rhinotracheitis, calicivirus, Chlamydophila felis and panleucopenia components: 1 week after primary vaccination course.
Feline leukaemia component: 2 weeks after primary vaccination course.
Duration of immunity:
- | Rhinotracheitis, calicivirosis and panleucopenia components: 1 year after primary vaccination course and 3 years after the last re-vaccination. |
- | Chlamydophila felis and feline leukaemia components: 1 year after the last re-vaccination. |
Dose to be administered and administration route
Subcutaneous route.
Reconstitute gently the vaccine in order to obtain a uniform suspension with limited foam formation.
Visual appearance after reconstitution: slightly yellow suspension with presence of cell debris in suspension.
After reconstitution of the lyophilisate with 0.5 ml or 1 ml of the solvent (depending on the presentation chosen) inject one dose of vaccine according to the following vaccination scheme:
Primary vaccination course:
- | first injection: from 8 weeks of age. |
- | second injection: 3 to 4 weeks later. |
Where high levels of maternal antibodies against rhinotracheitis, calicivirosis, panleucopenia or Chlamydophila components are expected to be present (e.g. in kittens of 9 to 12 weeks of age born from queens, which were vaccinated before pregnancy and/or with known or suspected previous exposure to the pathogen(s)), the primary vaccination course should be delayed until 12 weeks of age.
Revaccination:
- | the first revaccination must be carried out for all components one year after the primary vaccination course, | |
- | subsequent revaccinations: | |
- | Chlamydiosis and feline leukaemia components: every year. | |
- | Rhinotracheitis, calicivirosis and panleucopenia components: at intervals of up to three years. |
