Porcilis Ery+Parvo Suspension for Injection for Pigs — SPC Details

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

E. rhusiopathiae:
Onset of immunity: 3 weeks.
Duration of immunity: 6 months.
Porcine parvovirus (PPV):
Duration of immunity: 12 months.
Administer one dose of 2 ml by deep intramuscular injection behind the ear.
Before use, allow the vaccine to reach room temperature. Shake well before and
regularly during use.
Use sterile vaccination equipment. Avoid introduction of contamination by multiple
broaching.
Primary vaccination course:
Protection against E. rhusiopathiae and PPV should be achieved in gilts before first
mating.
To induce protection against erysipelas, a double vaccination as a primary
vaccination course is advised. This can be achieved with the monovalent erysipelas
vaccine (Porcilis Ery) either 4 weeks before or 4 weeks after use of this combined
erysipelas and PPV vaccine.
A single injection not later than 2 weeks before mating is sufficient to protect the
following pregnancy from damage due to PPV.
To avoid possible interference from maternal antibodies the pigs should be 6 months
old before vaccination to ensure efficacy against PPV.
Revaccination:
Revaccinations should be administered once a year, supplemented with the
administration of the monovalent erysipelas vaccine (Porcilis Ery), 6 months after use
of this combined erysipelas and PPV vaccine.
None.
