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 the package leaflet for
respective contact details.
Vaccination at six weeks of age has been proven to be safe.

Care should be taken that aerosol is not formed when vaccinating the cat as nasal or
oral exposure could result in clinical respiratory signs including lethargy and malaise.
For the same reason, the cat should be prevented from licking the injection site.
Special precautions to be taken by the person administering the veterinary medicinal
product to animals:
In case of accidental self-injection, seek medical advice immediately and show the
package leaflet or the label to the physician.
Special precautions for the protection of the environment:

therefore needs to be made on a case by case basis.
