The vaccine is to be administered by oral route to dogs 8 weeks of age and older.
Method and route of administration:
Grip the lyophilisate vial with your fingers and position your thumb directly under the embossed triangle on the vial cap.
Using your thumb, push the vial cap upwards from underneath the embossed triangle to allow access to the rubber stopper.
