Dose to be administered and administration route
Intramuscular use.
Allow the vaccine to reach room temperature (15–25 ºC) before administration. Shake well before use.
Administer one dose of 2 ml by intramuscular injection in the neck muscles according to the following schedule:
Basic vaccination:
Pigs from 6 months of age which have not been previously vaccinated with the product should be given two injections with an interval of 3–4 weeks. The second injection should be administered 3–4 weeks before mating.
Revaccination:
A single injection should be given 2–3 weeks prior to each subsequent mating (approximately every 6 months).
Adverse reactions
Very common adverse reactions:
- Mild to moderate inflammation at the injection site that typically resolves within four days but in some cases may persist for up to 12 days post-vaccination was observed in safety studies.
Common adverse reactions:
- A transient increase in body temperature within the first 6 hours after vaccination, which spontaneously resolves within 24 hours was observed in safety studies.
Very rare adverse reactions:
- Anaphylactic-type reactions have been reported in spontaneous reports and appropriate symptomatic treatment is recommended.
The frequency of adverse reactions is defined using the following convention:
- very common (more than 1 in 10 animals treated displaying adverse reaction(s))
- 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).
