Vaccinate healthy animals only.

Special precautions for safe use in the target species:
The efficacy of active immunisation of young foals against equine influenza will be
influenced by the level of maternally derived antibodies. This will vary between
individuals due to a number of factors, e.g. the immune status of the dam; adequacy
of colostral intake by the foal etc. The vaccine should not be used in foals below 5
months of age, and foals should not be vaccinated until maternally derived
antibodies have fallen below protective levels.
In any animal population there may be a small number of individuals which fail to
respond fully to vaccination. Successful vaccination depends upon correct storage
and administration of the vaccine and the ability of the animal to respond. This can
be influenced by such factors as genetic constitution, intercurrent infection, age,
nutritional status, concurrent drug therapy and stress.
