Bovalto Respi 4 suspension for injection for cattle.
Target species
Cattle.
Indications for use, specifying the target species
For active immunisation of cattle in the absence of maternally derived antibodies against:
- parainfluenza 3 virus, to reduce virus excretion due to infection
- bovine respiratory syncytial virus, to reduce virus excretion due to infection
- bovine viral diarrhoea virus, to reduce virus excretion due to infection
- Mannheimia haemolytica serotype A1, to reduce clinical signs and lung lesions.
Onset of immunity (demonstrated by challenge):
3 weeks after primary vaccination
Duration of immunity (demonstrated by challenge):
6 months after primary vaccination
Contraindications
None.
Special warnings for each target species
None.
Special precautions for use in animals
Vaccinate only healthy animals.
Safety and efficacy studies were performed in sero-negative calves. The efficacy of the vaccination has not been demonstrated in presence of antibodies. The level of antibody response may be reduced by the presence of maternal antibodies. In the presence of maternal antibodies, timing of initial vaccination of calves should be planned accordingly.
Special precautions to be taken by the person administering the veterinary medicinal product to animals
In case of accidental self- injection, seek medical advice immediately and show the package insert or label to the physician.
Adverse reactions (frequency and seriousness)
Following vaccination a localised swelling may be very commonly observed at the injection site. This swelling could reach up to 7 cm in diameter, and usually progressively reduces and disappears within 6 weeks after vaccination.
Commonly, there may be a transient slight increase in body temperature which was higher after the second injection (1.5°C at most) lasting up to 3 days after vaccination.
Anaphylactic-type reactions may very rarely occur after vaccination. In such cases, appropriate symptomatic treatment should be administered.
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)
Use during pregnancy, lactation or lay
Do not use during pregnancy and lactation.
Interaction with other medicinal products and other forms of interaction
No information is available on the safety and efficacy of this vaccine when used with any other veterinary medicinal product. A decision to use this vaccine before or after any other veterinary medicinal product therefore needs to be made on a case by case basis.
Amounts to be administered and administration route
Dosage – 2 ml administered subcutaneously.
Warm before use to a temperature of 15 to 25 °C and shake the contents of the vial.
Primary vaccination
Calves can be vaccinated from 2 weeks of age.
Calves from non-immune dams: 2 injections 3 weeks apart from 2 weeks of age
Where the immune status of the dam is unknown, the vaccine scheme should be adapted at the discretion of the veterinarian.
Revaccination
Administer a single dose 6 months after completion of the primary vaccination scheme.
The revaccination was demonstrated by measurement of the serological response. The efficacy of the revaccination has not been assessed by challenge.
Overdose (symptoms, emergency procedures, antidotes), if necessary
No adverse effects other than those mentioned in the "Adverse Reactions" section were observed. Local reactions after subcutaneous administration of a double dose were larger (up to 10 cm in diameter) than after the recommended dose.
Withdrawal periods
Zero days.
