Vanguard Lepto ci
Active substance
ATC code
Species
Dogs from 7 weeks of age.
Indications
Active immunisation of dogs to reduce clinical signs caused by Leptospira canicola and Leptospira icterohaemorrhagiae.
Onset of immunity occurs by approximately two weeks after the last dose of the Basic Vaccination Scheme.
The duration of immunity is at least 12 months.
Dose to be administered and administration route
Dosage and route of administration:
Shake well and immediately inject the entire contents of the vial (1 ml) subcutaneously. Do not use chemically sterilised syringes or needles, as these will interfere with the effectiveness of the vaccine.
Use with Vanguard R
To mix both products, one vial of Vanguard Lepto ci should be mixed with 1 ml of Vanguard R either in the Vanguard R vial or the syringe. Vanguard R will be well shaken before use. The mixed vaccines will be gently shaken and then administered immediately.
Basic Vaccination Scheme:
Puppies younger than 10 weeks of age
Two doses of Vanguard Lepto ci at least 14 days apart. The first dose can be given as young as 7 weeks of age. The second dose should not be given until at least 10 weeks of age.
Puppies 10 weeks of age and older
Two doses of Vanguard Lepto ci at least 14 days apart.
Re-vaccination Scheme:
A single dose of Vanguard Lepto ci to be given annually thereafter.
Adverse reactions
On very rare occasions, vaccinated dogs may have a transient swelling (up to 3 cm) 4-6 hours after vaccination which resolves after approximately 7 days.
Very rarely, if a systemic anaphylactic reaction occurs (eg vomiting,) administer appropriate symptomatic treatment (e.g. adrenaline or an equivalent).
The frequency of adverse reactions is defined using the following convention:
- very common (more than 1 in 10 animals displaying adverse reactions during the course of one treatment)
- common (more than 1 but less than 10 animals in 100 animals)
- uncommon (more than 1 but less than 10 animals in 1,000 animals)
- rare (more than 1 but less than 10 animals in 10,000 animals)
- very rare (less than 1 animal in 10,000 animals, including isolated reports)
