For the active immunisation of dogs against canine distemper, infectious canine hepatitis, canine parvo virus disease and canine parainfluenza virus infection.

COMPOSITION
Each 0,5 mℓ vial of the lyophilised substance contains live, attenuated strains of:

  • canine distemper virus (CDV) not less than 104 TCID50,
  • canine adenovirus 2 (CAV2) not less than 104 TCID50,
  • canine parvovirus (CPV) not less than 107 TCID50 and
  • canine parainfluenza virus (CPI) not less than 105,5 TCID50,

grown in cell-line culture.
Each vial contains a single dose for reconstitution.

STORAGE

  • Store in the dark between 2 °C and 8 °C.
  • Do not freeze.
  • Protect from direct sunlight.
  • Avoid prolonged or repetitive exposure to high ambient temperatures.
  • Allow the vaccine to gradually reach room temperature (20 °C to 25 °C) prior to use.

WARNINGS

  • Following initial vaccination, dogs should not be exposed to infection for at least 14 days.
  • Experience has shown that maternal parvo virus antibody status of the puppies in a litter varies greatly and reliance should not be placed on serological examination of the bitch alone.
  • Accidental self-injection may lead to a severe allergic reaction. Consult a physician and make this leaflet available.
  • Do not store partially used containers for future use, and use the entire contents once opened.
  • Dispose of any unused vaccine and all empty vaccine containers according to local waste disposal regulations after vaccination.
  • KEEP OUT OF REACH OF CHILDREN, UNINFORMED PERSONS AND ANIMALS.
  • Although this vaccine has been extensively tested under a large variety of conditions, failure thereof may ensue as a result of a wide range of reasons. If this is suspected, seek veterinary advice and notify the registration holder.

PRECAUTIONS

  • Only healthy dogs and puppies should be vaccinated.
  • Avoid intravenous injection.
  • Observe aseptic precautions. Ensure that all vaccination equipment (needles, syringes, etc.) are clean and sterile prior to use.
  • Avoid contamination of the vaccine with traces of disinfectant and spirits.
  • As with all vaccines, hypersensitivity or anaphylactic reactions may occur.
  • It is good vaccination practice when handling the vaccine to avoid contact with the eyes, hands and clothing.
