ATC code
Species
Pigs
Indications
For active immunisation of clinically healthy pigs from 17 days of age until the end of fattening and older from farms affected with European (genotype 1) Porcine Reproductive and Respiratory Syndrome Virus (PRRSV) to reduce virus load in blood in seropositive animals under field conditions.
Under experimental challenge conditions in which only seronegative animals were included, it was demonstrated that vaccination reduces lung lesions, virus load in blood and lung tissues as well as negative effects of infection on daily weight gain. A significant reduction of the respiratory clinical signs could additionally be demonstrated at the onset of immunity.

Dose to be administered and administration route
Dosage and method of administration:
Intramuscular use.
Single intramuscular injection of one dose (1 ml), irrespective of body weight.
For reconstitution, transfer the entire content of the solvent vial to the vial containing the lyophilisate and reconstitute the lyophilisate as follows: 10 doses in 10 ml, 50 doses in 50 ml, 100 doses in 100 ml and 250 doses in 250 ml of the solvent.
Ensure that the lyophilisate is completely reconstituted before use.
Visual appearance after reconstitution: clear, colourless suspension.
Avoid introduction of contamination during use.
Use sterile equipment.
Avoid multiple broaching, for example by using automatic injectors.
When mixed with Ingelvac CircoFLEX:
• Vaccinate only pigs as from 17 days of age.
• Cannot be administered in pregnant or lactating pigs.
When mixed with Ingelvac CircoFLEX the following equipment should be used:
• Use the same volumes of Ingelvac CircoFLEX and Ingelvac PRRSFLEX EU.
• Ingelvac CircoFLEX hereby replaces the solvent of PRRSFLEX EU
• Use a pre-sterilised transfer needle. Pre-sterilised transfer needles (CE certified) are commonly available via medical equipment suppliers.
To ensure correct mixing follow the steps as described below:
1. Connect one end of the transfer needle to the vaccine bottle of Ingelvac CircoFLEX.
2. Connect the opposite end of the transfer needle to the vaccine bottle of Ingelvac PRRSFLEX EU.
3. Transfer the Ingelvac CircoFLEX vaccine into the vaccine bottle of Ingelvac PRRSFLEX EU. If needed, gently press the vaccine bottle of Ingelvac CircoFLEX to facilitate the transfer.
After the transfer of the full content of Ingelvac CircoFLEX, disconnect and discard transfer needle and empty vaccine bottle of Ingelvac CircoFLEX.
4. To ensure appropriate mixing of the vaccines, gently shake the vaccine bottle of Ingelvac PRRSFLEX until the cake is fully dissolved.
5. Administer one single injection dose (1 ml) of the mixture intramuscularly per pig, irrespective of body weight. For administration, vaccine devices should be used in accordance with the device instructions provided by the manufacturer.
Use the entire vaccine mixture within 4 hours after mixing. Any unused mixture or waste material should be disposed according to the instructions given in section 6.6.
Adverse reactions
Slight transient increases (not greater than 1.5°C) in body temperature can be observed very commonly following vaccination. Temperatures return to normal without additional treatment, 1 to 3 days after the maximum temperature increase is observed.
Injection site reactions are uncommon. Transient minimal swelling or redness of the skin may be observed. These reactions disappear spontaneously without any additional treatment.
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).
