Pigs:
Very common
(>1 animal / 10 animals
treated):
Elevated temperature
, injection site swelling
Uncommon
(1 to 10 animals / 1,000 animals

A transient elevated temperature (mean 0.7 °C, in individual pigs up to 2 °C) very
commonly occurs on the day of vaccination. The animals return to normal 1 to 2 days
after the peak temperature is observed.
A transient injection site swelling mostly consisting of hard non-painful button-like
swellings of a diameter of up to 4 cm can be very commonly observed. In individual
pigs redness and/or a biphasic pattern of the injection site swelling, consisting of an
increase and decrease followed by another increase and decrease of the size, may
be observed. The injection site swelling disappears completely within approximately 7
weeks after vaccination.

Special precautions for use in animals
Not applicable.
Special precautions to be taken by the person administering the veterinary medicinal
product to animals
To the user:
This veterinary medicinal product contains mineral oil. Accidental injection/self-
injection may result in severe pain and swelling, particularly if injected into a joint or
finger, and in rare cases could result in the loss of the affected finger if prompt
medical attention is not given. If you are accidentally injected with this veterinary
medicinal product, seek prompt medical advice even if only a very small amount is
injected and take the package leaflet with you. If pain persists for more than 12 hours
after medical examination, seek medical advice again.
To the physician:
This veterinary medicinal product contains mineral oil. Even if small amounts have
been injected, accidental injection with this veterinary medicinal product can cause
intense swelling, which may, for example, result in ischaemic necrosis and even the
loss of a digit. Expert, PROMPT, surgical attention is required and may necessitate
early incision and irrigation of the injected area, especially where there is involvement
of finger pulp or tendon.
Special precautions for the protection of the environment:
Not applicable.
Safety and efficacy data are available in pigs from 3 weeks of age onwards which
demonstrate that this vaccine can be administered on the same day, but non-mixed
with Porcilis PRRS (intradermal route) and/or non-mixed with Porcilis PCV ID or with
Porcilis PCV ID mixed with Porcilis Lawsonia ID providing that non-mixed
administration sites of vaccines are separated by at least 3 cm. Adverse events are
as described in section 4.6, except for injection site swelling where a maximum size
of up to 6 cm may occur in individual pigs. Injection site swellings may last 8 weeks
and are very commonly accompanied by redness and crusts. In the event that the
crust is rubbed off, some small skin damage may be commonly observed.
The product information of Porcilis PCV ID, Porcilis Lawsonia ID and Porcilis PRRS
should be consulted before administration.
