Duration of immunity: at least one year after the second injection of the primary
vaccination course and at least 2 years after the first annual booster for all strains.
Current available challenge and serological data show that protection for distemper
virus, adenovirus and parvovirus* lasts for 2 years after primary vaccination course
followed by a first annual booster. Any decision to adapt the vaccination schedule of
this veterinary medicinal product needs to be made on a case by case basis, taking
into account the vaccination history of the dog and the epidemiological context.
*Protection has been demonstrated against canine parvovirus type 2a, 2b and 2c
either by challenge (type 2b) or serology (type 2a and 2c).
DAP/DAPPi or a compatible Boehringer Ingelheim vaccine (Eurican LR, Eurican L,
Eurican Lmulti or Eurican L4) where available. Shake well before use. The entire
contents of the reconstituted vial should be administered as a single dose.
The reconstituted content shall be an opalescent yellow to orange suspension.
Inject a 1-ml dose subcutaneously according to the following schedule:
Primary vaccination:
Two injections separated by an interval of 4 weeks from 7 weeks of age.
When administered with Boehringer Ingelheim's vaccines containing rabies, the
minimum age for vaccination is 12 weeks of age.
In cases where high levels of maternally derived antibodies are suspected by the
veterinarian and the primary vaccination course was completed before 16 weeks of
age, a third injection is recommended from 16 weeks of age, at least 3 weeks after
the second injection.
Revaccination: Administer one dose 12 months after completion of the primary
vaccination course.
Dogs should be revaccinated with a single booster dose every two years after the
first annual booster

immediately after injection. It usually regresses within 1-6 days. This can, on some
occasions, be accompanied by slight pruritus, heat and pain at the injection site.
Transient lethargy and emesis may also be commonly observed.
Anorexia, polydipsia, hyperthermia, diarrhoea, muscle tremor, muscle weakness and
injection site cutaneous lesions may uncommonly be observed.
Hypersensitivity reactions (facial oedema, anaphylactic shock, urticaria) may rarely
occur, some of which are life-threatening. Appropriate symptomatic treatment should
promptly be provided.
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
Apply usual aseptic procedures.
After vaccination, the live CAV-2 and CPV vaccine strains can transiently be shed
without adverse consequence for in-contact animals.

product to animals

package leaflet or the label to the physician.
administered with Eurican LR, Eurican L Eurican Lmulti or Eurican L4 vaccines (used
as solvent) where available.
Safety and efficacy data are available which demonstrate that this vaccine can be
administered on the same day but not mixed with Rabisin vaccine.
When administered with Boehringer Ingelheim's vaccines containing rabies, the
minimum age for vaccination is 12 weeks of age.
When mixed with the Eurican LR vaccine a small and transient nodule (maximum
size 1.5 cm) at the injection site may be induced due to the presence of aluminium
hydroxide and a slight swelling (~4 cm) may occur after the injection at injection site,
regressing generally within 1-4 days.
When mixed with the Eurican L4 vaccine a swelling (less than 6 cm) may very
commonly occur at the injection site, disappearing within 8 days, anorexia may
commonly occur and vocalisation, tachycardia and tachypnoea may uncommonly be
observed. For Eurican L4, no safety data in pregnant bitches are available for the
additional inactivated strain, Leptospira Australis.
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.
Store and transport refrigerated (2 C - 8 C).
Protect from light.
Do not freeze.
