For active immunisation of pigs against porcine circovirus type 2 to reduce viral load in blood and lymphoid tissues, faecal shedding and the lesions in lymphoid tissues associated with PCV2 infection. Protection was demonstrated against porcine circovirus types 2a, 2b and 2d.
For active immunisation of pigs against Mycoplasma hyopneumoniae to reduce the lung lesions associated with Mycoplasma hyopneumoniae infection.
Onset of immunity (both vaccine schedules): 3 weeks after (the last) vaccination.
Duration of immunity (both vaccine schedules): 23 weeks after (the last) vaccination
In addition, vaccination has been shown to reduce body weight gain losses under field conditions.
Dosage and administration
Vaccinate pigs by the intramuscular route in the neck behind the ear.
Single dose vaccination schedule
A single dose of 2 ml in pigs from 3 weeks of age.
Split dose vaccination schedule
Two injections each of 1 ml in pigs from 3 days of age with an interval of approximately 3 weeks.
Choice of dosing regimen, including age of vaccination should take into account farm circumstances. In situations where the level of maternally-derived antibodies against PCV2 is expected to be moderately high or very high consider delaying the age of vaccination.
Advice on correct administration
Shake well before administration and intermittently during the process of vaccination.
The use of a multi-dosing syringe is recommended. Use vaccination devices according to the manufacturer's instructions. The vaccine is to be administered aseptically. During storage, a slight black deposit may appear, and the emulsion may separate into two distinct phases. Upon shaking, the black deposit disappears, and the emulsion becomes homogenous again.

Adverse reactions
A transient increase in body temperature, not exceeding 2.1°C, is very common after vaccination and resolves spontaneously within 24 hours without treatment. In a laboratory study, a post-mortem examination of the injection site, performed 2 weeks after the administration of a repeated single dose of the vaccine, very commonly revealed a mild lymphocytic-granulomatous inflammatory response. Local tissue reactions in the form of swelling at the injection site, below 2 cm in diameter, are common and may last for up to 10 days. Erythema may be uncommonly observed during the first 24 hours after vaccination.
Hypersensitivity reactions, vomiting, incoordination, lethargy, and laboured breathing were uncommonly observed in field studies. The animals mostly recover within 24 hours.
The frequency of possible adverse effects 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).
In supportive overdose studies, lethargy and polypnoea have been observed. Transient mild injection site swellings can occur for up to 1 day. Transient fever (maximum 41.1ºC) may occur for up to 12 hours.
Withdrawal period
Zero days.
