Target species
Dogs.
For active immunisation of dogs against Bordetella bronchiseptica to reduce clinical signs of upper respiratory tract disease and bacterial shedding post infection.
Onset of immunity: 2 weeks.
Duration of immunity: 7 months after primary vaccination. 1 year after re-vaccination.
Dosage and administration
Subcutaneous use, 1 ml dose per vaccination.
Dogs can be vaccinated from the age of 6 weeks onwards.
Allow the vaccine to reach room temperature (15 °C – 25 °C) before use.
Shake well before each administered dose. Avoid introduction of contamination by using a clean needle for each administered dose.
Primary vaccination:
Two vaccinations with an interval of 4 weeks.
Re-vaccination:
A single vaccination, administered 7 months after primary vaccination with this vaccine, is sufficient to maintain protection against Bordetella bronchiseptica for a further year. Thereafter, a single vaccination should be administered, annually. In case re-vaccination at 7 months is missed, a single vaccination within 12 months after primary vaccination is sufficient to extend protection against Bordetella bronchiseptica for a further year.
This vaccine can also be used for re-vaccination in a schedule where Canigen KC has been used for primary vaccination. A single vaccination, administered one year after primary vaccination with Canigen KC, is sufficient to prolong immunity against Bordetella bronchiseptica for another year.
Re-vaccination after primary vaccination with Canigen KC:
One vaccination, annually.
For associated use:
When this vaccine is administered in associated use (i.e. not mixed) with another vaccine of the Canigen series as indicated, the vaccines should be given subcutaneously at the same time, at a different site. Dogs should not be younger than the minimum age recommended for the other Canigen vaccine, as stated in the respective product information.

Interaction with other medicinal products and other forms of interaction
Safety and efficacy data are available which demonstrate that this Canigen Bb vaccine can be administered at the same time but not mixed with the live vaccines of the Canigen series against canine distemper, canine contagious hepatitis caused by canine adenovirus type 1, canine parvovirus disease and respiratory disease caused by canine adenovirus type 2, where authorised.
Safety data are available which demonstrate that this Canigen Bb vaccine can be administered at the same time but not mixed with the Canigen series of vaccines mentioned above together with the live Canigen parainfluenza vaccine and the inactivated vaccines of the Canigen series against leptospirosis caused by L. interrogans serogroup Canicola serovar Canicola, L. interrogans serogroup Icterohaemorrhagiae serovar Copenhageni, L. interrogans serogroup Australis serovar Bratislava, and L. kirschneri serogroup Grippotyphosa serovar Bananal/Lianguang.
In addition, for the live canine parainfluenza vaccine antibody response data, and for the inactivated canine leptospirosis vaccines antibody response data and other immunity data support the use of the Canigen Bb vaccine at the same time but not mixed with the mentioned Canigen series of vaccines.
When this vaccine is administered in association with the relevant Canigen vaccines, the demonstrated safety and efficacy claims of Canigen Bb are the same as when this vaccine is administered alone.
The product information of the relevant Canigen vaccines used in association with this vaccine should be consulted before administration.
