at most) lasting up to 3 days after vaccination.

Anaphylactic-type reactions may very rarely occur after vaccination. In such
cases appropriate symptomatic treatment should be administered.
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.

i) Special precautions for use in animals
The efficacy of vaccination has not been demonstrated in the presence of
antibodies. The level of antibody response may be reduced by the
presence of maternal antibodies. In the presence of maternal antibodies
timing of initial vaccination of calves should be planned accordingly.
ii) 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.

No information is available on the safety and efficacy of this vaccine when used
with any other veterinary medicinal product. 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.

Store and transport in a refrigerator ( 2°C to 8°C)
Do not freeze. Protect from light.
