Equip FT Suspension for Injection — SPC Details
Source: VMD Summary of Product Characteristics (SPC). Last updated 27 Mar 2026.
Duration of immunity: 1 year and 3 months for influenza and 3 years for tetanus.
Vaccination schedule
medicinal product should be used as follows:
Primary course
6 week interval
Second dose EQUIP FT
5 month interval
Boosters
12-15 month interval
2nd booster EQUIP F
12-15 month interval
3rd booster EQUIP FT
Thereafter, booster doses of Equip FT or Equip F should be administered so that the
interval between vaccinations against influenza is not more than 15 months and the interval
between vaccinations against tetanus is not more than 36 months.
Note: The routine practice of administering booster doses annually may remain the most
convenient, even though protection against equine influenza has been demonstrated by
challenge studies 15 months following the third vaccination (first booster dose). No field
challenge studies have been carried out prior to the third vaccination; instead, efficacy was
evaluated by serology which showed titres equivalent to those found in horses protected
against challenge at 15 months.
It is recommended that a single booster dose should only be administered to horses that
have already received a full primary course using vaccines that contain the same types of
equine influenza virus included in this vaccine. A full primary course may be considered
necessary in horses that have not been suitably primed.
Rare
(1 to 10 animals / 10,000 animals
treated):
Injection site swelling
1,3
Stiffness
Elevated temperature
1,2
Very rare
(<1 animal / 10,000 animals treated,
including isolated reports):
Injection site pain
Hypersensitivity reaction
Anorexia, Lethargy
This condition normally resolves by the day following vaccination.
Mild, transient, typically 9-12 hours post vaccination.
Local, small (10-20 mm in diameter), soft, non-painful.
In the event of an allergic or anaphylactic reaction, immediate treatment should be given
with a soluble glucocorticoid intravenously or adrenalin intramuscularly.
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 the national competent authority via the national reporting
system. See the package leaflet for respective contact details.
The efficacy of active immunisation of young foals against equine influenza and tetanus 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
colostrum 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.
