was no significant difference between vaccinated and control dogs in viral excretion for
CPiV or CAV-2.
After the annual booster, the duration of immunity lasts for 3 years for CDV, CAV-1, CAV-
2 and CPV and 1 year for CPiV.
For CAV-2, the duration of immunity after the annual booster was not established by
challenge, and is based on the presence of CAV-2 antibodies 3 years after the booster
vaccination.
additional injection from 6 weeks of age can be performed; followed 2 weeks later (from 8
weeks of age) by the usual vaccination scheme (2 injections performed at a 3-4 weeks
interval).
Re-vaccinations:
One booster injection of a single dose should be given 1 year after the primary
vaccination course.
Subsequent vaccinations are carried out at intervals of up to three years.
Annual revaccination is required for the CPiV component.
When active immunisation against Leptospira
vaccine can be used instead of the solvent. After reconstitution of one dose of the
product with one dose of Virbac’s Leptospira vaccine, shake gently (the reconstituted
product is slightly pinkish beige) and administer immediately one dose of 1 ml
subcutaneously according to the same vaccination schedule as above (annual
revaccination required for the Leptospira component). Refer to the Virbac's Leptospira's
vaccine product information regarding vaccination scheme against Leptospira.
When active immunisation against rabies is also required, and if Virbac’s rabies vaccine
is available, 1 dose of Virbac’s rabies vaccine can be used instead of the solvent. Refer
to the Virbac’s rabies vaccine product information regarding vaccination scheme against
rabies.

Reporting adverse events is important. It allows continuous safety monitoring of a
veterinary medicinal product. Reports should be sent, preferably via a veterinarian, to
either the marketing authorisation holder or its local representative or the national
competent authority via the national reporting system. See the package leaflet for
respective contact details.
In susceptible puppies suspected to present low levels of maternal derived antibodies
(i.e. born from non-vaccinated mothers, from large litters, poor feeders,...), an earlier
immunisation may be recommended by the veterinarian (i.e. in case of early puppy
socialisation, high risk environment,...) and the vaccination scheme should be adapted
accordingly (see section 3.9).
The presence of maternally derived antibodies (puppies from vaccinated females) may in
some cases interfere with the vaccination. Therefore the vaccination scheme should be
adapted accordingly (see section 3.9).

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 leaflet or the label to the physician.
