Clinical information

Nobivac Pi, Lyophilisate and Solvent for Suspension for Injection for Dogs — SPC Details

Source: VMD Summary of Product Characteristics (SPC). Last updated 27 Mar 2026.

Onset of immunity: 4 weeks after vaccination.
Duration of immunity: has not been demonstrated, but an anamnestic response
is produced in dogs given a revaccination 1 year after basic vaccination.
One dose (1 ml) of reconstituted vaccine should be given by subcutaneous
injection. Sterile equipment should be used for administration.
Vaccination schedule:
- Basic vaccination:
• Before the age of 12 weeks:
Two vaccinations, each with a single dose: the first vaccination
from the age of 8 weeks onwards and the second vaccination
2 - 4 weeks later.
• From the age of 12 weeks onwards:
Single vaccination, with one dose per animal.
- Revaccination:
Every year with a single dose.
Reconstituted product: off-pink or pink suspension.
None.
Dogs:
Very rare
(<1 animal / 10,000 animals
treated, including isolated
reports):
Discomfort
.
Injection site swelling
.
Hypersensitivity reaction
.
During injection.
Diffuse up to 5 mm in diameter , which may occasionally be hard and painful
and last up to 3 days post injection.
In the event of an anaphylactic reaction, appropriate treatment such as
adrenaline should be administered without delay.
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 the national
competent authority via the national reporting system. See the package leaflet
for respective contact details.
Vaccinate healthy animals only.
A protective antibody titre is not accomplished in all vaccinated dogs.
As maternally derived passive antibodies can interfere with the response to
vaccination in very young animals, a final dose at 10 weeks of age or older is
recommended.

Special precautions for safe use in the target species:
Not applicable.
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:
Not applicable.
interaction
Safety and efficacy data (viral excretion) are available which demonstrate that
this vaccine can be mixed and administered with the inactivated vaccines in the
Nobivac range against canine leptospirosis caused by all or some of the
following serovars: L. interrogansL.
interrogansL.
interrogansL. kirschneri serogroup
Grippotyphosa serovar Bananal/Liangguang.
The product information of the relevant Nobivac vaccines should be consulted
before administration of the mixed product. When mixed with Nobivac
leptospirosis vaccines at annual revaccination, it has been established that
there is no interference with the anamnestic response induced by the injectable
canine parainfluenza virus component.
After administration with one of the leptospirosis vaccines, a mild and transient
increase in body temperature (≤ 1°C) may occur for a few days after
vaccination, with some pups showing less activity and/or a reduced appetite. A
small transient swelling (≤ 4 cm), which can occasionally be firm and painful on
palpation, may be observed at the site of injection. Any such swelling will either
have disappeared or be clearly diminished by 14 days post-vaccination.
After mixed administration of an overdose of this vaccine and an overdose of
the leptospirosis vaccines in the Nobivac range, transient local reactions such
as diffuse to firm swellings from 1 to 5 cm in diameter may be observed, usually
these will persist no longer than 5 weeks, however some may take a little longer
to completely disappear.
Safety and efficacy data are available which demonstrate that this vaccine can
be mixed and administered with the inactivated vaccine in the Nobivac range
against rabies or the inactivated vaccine against rabies and leptospirosis, where
applicable. After administration with the rabies containing vaccines transient
local reactions such as diffuse to firm swellings from 1 to 4 cm in diameter may
be observed for up to 3 weeks after vaccination. The swellings may be painful
for up to 3 days post dosing.
Safety data are available which demonstrate that this vaccine can be
administered at the same time but not mixed with the inactivated vaccine in the
Nobivac range against Bordetellabronchiseptica
When this vaccine is administered in association with the inactivated vaccine in
the Nobivac range against Bordetellabronchiseptica
antibody response data of this vaccine are the same as when this vaccine is
administered alone.
When this vaccine is used with any of the other Nobivac vaccines referred to
above, the minimum vaccination age for each vaccine must be taken into
account such that at the time of vaccination, the dogs are at or older than the
oldest minimum vaccination age for the individual vaccines.
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.
Lyophilisate:
Store in a refrigerator (2 C – 8 C).
Do not freeze.
Protect from light.
Care should be taken to avoid prolonged or repetitive exposure to high ambient
temperatures following withdrawal from the refrigerator prior to use.
Solvent:
Store below 25 °C if stored independently from the lyophilisate.
Not applicable.
