Dose to be administered and administration route
Dose: 2 ml
Administration: Equip T should be shaken thoroughly before use and administered by deep intramuscular injection.
Primary vaccination
Two injections of 2 ml with an interval of 4-6 weeks between them.
Booster vaccination
One dose 36 months after the primary course, repeated at intervals of up to 36 months.
Adverse reactions
Rarely (<1 in 1000) animals may exhibit a reaction to vaccination. This may be manifest by stiffness, a mild, transient rise in temperature, typically 9-12 hours post vaccination, or a small soft, non-painful local swelling (10-20 mm in diameter) at the injection site. These conditions normally resolve by the day following vaccination.
Injection site pain has been reported in very rare cases (<1 in 10, 000).
Occasional hypersensitivity reactions may occur. In the event of an allergic or anaphylactic reaction, immediate treatment should be given with a soluble glucocorticoid intravenously or adrenalin intramuscularly.
