Respiporc FLUpan H1N1
ATC code
Species
Pigs.
Indications
Active immunisation of pigs from the age of 8 weeks onwards against pandemic H1N1 porcine influenza virus to reduce viral lung load and viral excretion.
Onset of immunity: 7 days after primary vaccination.
Duration of immunity:3 months after primary vaccination.
Dose to be administered and administration route
For intramuscular use.
Piglets:
2 injections of one dose (1 ml) from the age of 56 days, with an interval of 3 weeks between injections.
The efficacy of revaccination has not been investigated and therefore no revaccination schedule is proposed.
Maternally-derived antibodies in piglets interfere with the RESPIPORC FLUpan H1N1 mediated immunity. Generally, maternally-derived antibodies induced by vaccination last for approximately 5–8 weeks after birth.
In cases of exposure of the sows to antigens (from either field infections and/or vaccination) the antibodies transmitted to the piglets can interfere with active immunisation at 12 weeks of age. In such cases the piglets should be vaccinated after the age of 12 weeks.
Gilts and sows:
Primary vaccination: 2 injections of one dose (1 ml) with an interval of 3 weeks between injections and up to 3 weeks before expected farrowing or during lactation.
The efficacy of single dose revaccination has not been investigated and therefore no single dose revaccination schedule is proposed for further pregnancies.

Reporting adverse events is important. It allows continuous safety monitoring of a veterinary medicinal product. Reports should be sent, preferably via a veterinarian, to either the marketing authorisation holder or the national competent authority via the national reporting system.

4. CLINICAL PARTICULARS
4.1 Target species
Pigs.
4.2 Indications for use, specifying the target species
Active immunisation of pigs from the age of 8 weeks onwards against pandemic H1N1 porcine influenza virus to reduce viral lung load and viral excretion.
Onset of immunity: 7 days after primary vaccination.
Duration of immunity:3 months after primary vaccination.
4.3 Contraindications
None.
4.4 Special warnings for each target species
Vaccinate healthy animals only.
4.5 Special precautions for use
i) Special precautions for use in animals
Not applicable.
ii) Special precautions to be taken by the person administering the veterinary medicinal product to animals
In case of accidental self-injection, seek medical advice immediately and show the package leaflet or the label to the physician.
4.6 Adverse reactions (frequency and seriousness)
A transient increase in rectal temperature, not exceeding 2 °C, is common after vaccination and this does not persist for more than one day.
A transient swelling up to 2 cm3 may occur at the site of injection: these reactions are common but resolve within 5 days.
The frequency of adverse reactions is defined using the following convention:
- very common (more than 1 in 10 animals treated displaying adverse reactions)
- 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).
4.7 Use during pregnancy, lactation or lay
The safety of the veterinary medicinal product has not been established during pregnancy and lactation.
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.
4.9 Amount(s) to be administered and administration route
For intramuscular use.
Vaccination: 2 injections of one dose (1 ml) from the age of 56 days, with an interval of 3 weeks between injections.
The efficacy of revaccination has not been investigated and therefore no revaccination schedule is proposed.
Maternally-derived antibodies in piglets interfere with the RESPIPORC FLUpan H1N1 mediated immunity. Generally, maternally-derived antibodies induced by vaccination last for approximately 5–8 weeks after birth.
In cases of exposure of the sows to antigens (from either field infections and/or vaccination) the antibodies transmitted to the piglets can interfere with active immunisation at 12 weeks of age. In such cases the piglets should be vaccinated after the age of 12 weeks.
4.10 Overdose (symptoms, emergency procedures, antidotes), if necessary
None known.
4.11 Withdrawal period(s)
Zero days.
5. IMMUNOLOGICAL PROPERTIES
Pharmacotherapeutic group: Immunologicals, inactivated viral vaccines for pigs, porcine influenza virus.
ATC Vet Code: QI09AA03.
The vaccine stimulates an active immunity against pandemic porcine influenza A/Jena/VI5258/2009 (H1N1)pandemic09-like virus. It induces neutralising and haemagglutination-inhibiting antibodies against this subtype. The antibody responses mentioned in the following have been documented in pigs without maternally-derived immunity. Neutralising antibodies in serum have been detected in more than 75% of the immunised pigs on day 7 after primary immunisation lasting in more than 75% of the pigs for over 3 months. Haemagglutination-inhibiting antibodies have been detected in 15–100% of the immunised pigs on day 7 after primary immunisation which disappeared in the majority of animals within 1 to 4 weeks thereafter.
Efficacy of the vaccine was examined in laboratory challenge studies in pigs without maternally-derived antibodies and was demonstrated against the following strains:
FLUAV/Hamburg/NY1580/2009(H1N1)pdm09 (human origin),
FLUAV/swine/Schallern/IDT19989/2014 (H1N1)pdm09 (swine origin) and FLUAV/sw/Teo(Spain)/AR641/2016 (H1N1)pdm09 (swine origin).
