Rispoval RS
Active substance
ATC code
Species
Cattle from 7 days of age.
Indications
For the active immunisation of calves to reduce infections and clinical signs associated with BRSV.
Onset of immunity occurs by 7 days after vaccination, as demonstrated serologically.
Studies have shown a duration of immunity of at least 4 months.
Dose to be administered and administration route
Dosage and route of administration:
Reconstitute each 5-dose vial with 10 ml of sterile diluent. Immediately give 2 ml reconstituted vaccine intramuscularly.
As far as possible take reasonable aseptic precautions in reconstituting and withdrawing vaccine.
Reconstituted vaccine should be used immediately.
Do not use chemically sterilised syringes or needles, as these will affect the effectiveness of the vaccine.
Vaccination programme:
In animals 4 months of age or older, give 2 doses three to four weeks apart.
In younger animals, give two doses with a three to four week interval, with a third dose at 4 months of age. The third dose is required due to the possible interference from high titres of maternally derived antibodies during the first few months of life. An interval of at least 14 days should be observed between the second and third injection.
Ideally animals should be vaccinated during the autumn or at housing prior to the period of a greatest risk.
Adverse reactions
Anaphylactic reactions may occasionally occur. Where necessary, appropriate antihistamine treatment should be instituted.
