lesions and urine shedding of Leptospira Canicola;
- reduce infection, clinical signs, kidney colonisation and urine shedding of
Leptospira Icterohaemorrhagiae;
Onset of immunity:
The onset of immunity has been demonstrated from 4 weeks after the primary
vaccination for CPiV, 5 weeks for Leptospira Canicola and 2 weeks for Leptospira
Icterohaemorrhagiae
Duration of immunity:
The duration of immunity lasts for one year after the primary vaccination for all

In the one-year duration of immunity studies there was no significant difference

kidney colonisation for Canicola and Icterohaemorrhagiae, nor
in renal lesions and urine shedding for Leptospira Canicola.

following vaccination schedule:
Primary vaccination course:
- first injection from 8 weeks of age,
- second injection 3 or 4 weeks later.
Annual re-vaccination:
One booster injection of a single dose should be given 1 year after the second
injection and annually thereafter.
When active immunisation against rabies is also required, and if Virbac’s rabies
vaccine is available, 1 dose of the product can be mixed with 1 dose of Virbac’s
rabies vaccine and 2 ml of mixed vaccines can be administered immediately
subcutaneously. Refer to the Virbac’s rabies vaccine product information regarding

Some transient post-vaccinal lethargic states were commonly observed in clinical
studies.
Transient hyperthermia or digestive disturbances such as anorexia, diarrhoea or
vomiting were rarely observed from spontaneous reports.
Hypersensitivity reactions (e.g. anaphylaxis, skin manifestations such as
oedema/swelling, erythema, pruritus) have been reported in very rare cases from
spontaneous reports. In case of such an allergic or anaphylactic reaction, appropriate
symptomatic treatment should be administered.
The frequency of adverse reactions 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).
Special precautions for use in animals:
None.
