A small painless palpable nodule (maximum 5.2 mm diameter) may be very

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)

Vaccinate healthy animals only.
Low levels of maternally derived antibodies against RHD virus do not interfere
with vaccine efficacy. However, no information is available on the use of the
vaccine in animals with high levels of maternally derived antibodies. Thus, in
situations where a high level of maternally derived antibodies against RHD
virus is expected, the vaccination scheme must be adjusted accordingly.
