reconstitute the freeze-dried vaccine with the diluent. Shake well after addition of the
diluent. Remove the needle and administer 0.4 ml directly from the tip of the syringe
into one nostril.
Vaccination scheme:
Dogs should be at least 3 weeks of age. When Canigen KC is concurrently
administered (i.e. not mixed) with another vaccine of the Canigen series as indicated
under section 4.8, dogs should not be younger than the minimum age recommended
for the other Canigen vaccine.
Unvaccinated dogs should receive one dose at least 3 weeks prior to the period of
anticipated risk, e.g. temporary kennelling, in order to get protection for both vaccine
agents. In order to get protection for unvaccinated dogs
should receive one dose at least 72 hours prior to the period of anticipated risk (see
also section 4.5 Special precautions for use).

sometimes accompanied by wheezing, sneezing and/or coughing, particularly in very
young susceptible puppies. Signs are generally transient, but in occasional cases
may persist for up to four weeks. In animals, which show more severe signs,
appropriate antibiotic treatment may be indicated. In very rare cases lethargy and
vomiting may occur after vaccination. In very rare cases hypersensitivity reactions
may occur. Such reactions may evolve to a more severe condition (anaphylaxis),
which may be life-threatening. If such reactions occur appropriate treatment is
recommended. Clinical signs of immune-mediated haemolytic anaemia, immune-
mediated thrombocytopenia or immune-mediated polyarthritis have been reported in
very rare cases.
The frequency of adverse reactions is defined using the following convention:

Special precautions for use in animals
Vaccinated animals can spread the Bordetella bronchiseptica vaccine strain for six
weeks and the canine parainfluenza vaccine strain for a few days after vaccination.
Immunosuppressive medication may impair the development of active immunity and
may increase the chance of adverse effects caused by the live vaccine strains.
Cats, pigs and unvaccinated dogs may react to the vaccine strains with mild and
transient respiratory signs. Other animals, like rabbits and small rodents have not
been tested.
Special precautions to be taken by the person administering the veterinary medicinal
product to animals
Immunocompromised individuals should avoid any contact with the vaccine and
vaccinated dogs up to six weeks after vaccination.
Disinfect hands and equipment after use.
treatment.
Safety and efficacy data are available which demonstrate that this vaccine can be
administered on the same day, 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, and inactivated vaccines of the Canigen
series against canine leptospirosis caused by all or some of the following serovars: L.
interrogans serogroup Canicola serovar Canicola, L. interrogans serogroup
Icterohaemorrhagiae serovar Copenhageni, L. interrogans serogroup Australis
serovar Bratislava, and L. kirschneri
Bananal/Liangguang. In very rare cases a transient acute hypersensitivity reaction
may occur when this product is used with other vaccines.
No information is available on the safety and efficacy of this vaccine when used with
any other veterinary medicinal product except the products mentioned above. 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.
In case antibiotics are administered within one week after vaccination, the
vaccination should be repeated after the antibiotic treatment is finished.
Do not freeze.
