Source: VMD Summary of Product Characteristics (SPC). Last updated 27 Mar 2026.
Duration of immunity: 6 weeks after a single administration.
1. Prepare a container filled with the appropriate quantity of clean non-chlorinated
drinking water (7 to 30 ml per box of 100 chicks according to the type of sprayer
used in the hatchery).
2. Dissolve a number of tablets corresponding to the number of doses to be
administered in a container holding the appropriate quantity of clean non-
chlorinated water prepared at step 1.
3. Wait until complete dissolution of the tablets before using the vaccine solution.
The reconstituted vaccine is a yellow solution, and a foam layer may form over
the surface.
4. Where HatchPak Avinew frozen suspension (ampoules carried by a green
cane) is to be used concurrently, transfer the content of one ampoule prepared
according to the leaflet’s instructions into the container, which has previously
been used to prepare Hatchpak IB H120 Neo.
5. The reconstituted vaccine prepared according to the instructions is ready for
use. It should be used immediately after preparation and therefore the tablets
should only be removed from blisters when needed.
Posology:
One administration to one-day-old chicks.
Method of administration:
-
vaccine solution should be applied as a coarse spray whilst the chicks are in
their chick boxes.
-
production of drops of
100 µm or more and cover the chicks with the vaccine. In this way, the vaccine

from the surface of the box.
-

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 its local representative or the national
competent authority via the national reporting system. See also the last section of the
package leaflet for respective contact details.
Special precautions for safe use in the target species:
Vaccine viruses can spread to unvaccinated birds. Infection of unvaccinated chickens
with the vaccine virus from vaccinated birds does not cause any signs of disease.
Reversion to virulence trials carried out in the laboratory have shown that the vaccine
viruses do not acquire any pathogenic characteristics after at least 5 passages in
chickens.
Special precautions to be taken by the person administering the veterinary medicinal
product to animals:
Wear respiratory and eye protection during spraying.
Wash and disinfect hands and equipment after vaccinating.
Special precautions for the protection of the environment:
Not applicable.
