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 also the last section of the
package leaflet for respective contact details.
Special precautions for use in animals
It is recommended that a test for FeLV antigenaemia be carried out prior to vaccination.
Vaccination of FeLV positive cats is of no benefit.
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.
This vaccine should not be handled by persons who are immunodeficient or taking
immunosuppressive medicinal products. If self-injection occurs, immediate medical
advice should be sought and the doctor informed that self-injection with a living
chlamydial vaccine has occurred.
administered the same day but not mixed with Boehringer Ingelheim adjuvanted

decision to use this vaccine before or after any other veterinary medicinal product

5. IMMUNOLOGICAL PROPERTIES
ATCvet code: QI06AJ05. live feline rhinotracheitis virus + inactivated feline calicivirus
antigen + live feline panleucopenia virus / parvovirus + live chlamydia + feline
leukaemia recombinant live canarypox virus
Vaccine against feline viral rhinotracheitis, feline calicivirosis, chlamydiosis, feline
panleucopenia and feline leukaemia.
Stimulates active immunity against feline rhinotracheitis herpesvirus, feline calicivirus,
Chlamydophila felis, feline panleucopenia virus and feline leukaemia virus.
The product was shown to reduce excretion of feline calicivirus at onset of immunity
and for one year after vaccination.
The feline leukaemia vaccine strain is a recombinant canarypox virus expressing the
env and genes of FeLV-A. Under field conditions, only sub-group A is infective
and immunisation against sub-group A provides full protection against A, B and C.
After inoculation, the virus expresses the protective proteins, but does not replicate in
the cat. As a consequence, the vaccine induces an immune status against feline
leukaemia virus.
