For active immunisation of calves from the age of 1 week old onwards to reduce clinical signs of respiratory disease and viral shedding from infection with Bovine Respiratory Syncytial Virus and Parainfluenza Virus 3.

The duration of immunity is 12 weeks.

Nasal use. Vaccinate calves of 1 week of age onwards.

Reconstitute lyophilisate with solvent as described below. Ensure that the lyophilisate is completely reconstituted before use. The reconstituted vaccine is an off-pink or pink coloured suspension.

Administer a single dose of 2 ml reconstituted vaccine per animal, 1 ml in each nostril.

Instructions for reconstitution:

For proper reconstitution of the lyophilisate, transfer the solvent to the vial with the lyophilisate (2 ml for the 1 dose and 10 ml for the 5 dose; also see the table below) using a needle and syringe. The vacuum in the vaccine vial will allow quick emptying of the syringe. Then resuspend by shaking.

The vaccine suspension can be drawn up in a syringe with a clean tip. The vaccine in the syringe is now ready for administration, directly from the tip of the syringe. A spraying device is not required.

When vaccinating animals, it is recommended to change syringes or tips of a multi-dose syringe between animals to avoid transmission of pathogens.

Lyophilisate: Store in a refrigerator (2°C – 8°C). Do not freeze. Protect from light.

Solvent: Store below 25°C if stored independently from the lyophilisate. Do not freeze.
