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.
Chickens with maternally derived antibodies, when vaccinated with this
veterinary medicinal product, may have a delayed onset of immunity against
IBD.
Special precautions for use in animals
As a live vaccine, the vaccine strain is excreted from vaccinated birds and may
spread to turkeys. Safety trials have shown that the strain is safe for turkeys.
However, precautionary measures have to be followed in order to avoid direct
or indirect contact between vaccinated chickens and turkeys.
Special precautions to be taken by the person administering the veterinary
medicinal product to animals
The handling of liquid nitrogen should take place in a well-ventilated area.
Innovax-ILT-IBD is a virus suspension packed in glass ampoules and stored in
liquid nitrogen. Before withdrawing ampoules from the liquid nitrogen canister,
protective equipment consisting of gloves, long sleeves and a facemask or
goggles should be worn. In case of an accident to prevent serious wounds by
either the liquid nitrogen or the ampoules when removing an ampoule from the
canister, hold palm of gloved hand away from body and face. Care should be
exercised to prevent contaminating your hands, eyes and clothing with the
ampoule content. CAUTION: Ampoules have been known to explode on sudden
temperature changes. Do not thaw in hot or ice-cold water. For this reason,
thaw the ampoules in clean water at 25 °C – 27 °C.
