viral shedding caused by canine parvovirus (type 2a), to prevent mortality and clinical
signs including leucopenia and reduce viral shedding caused by canine parvovirus
(types 2b and 2c), and to reduce clinical signs and infection due to Leptospira canicola
and Leptospira icterohaemorrhagiae.

Vaccination Scheme. Onset of immunity for the canine parvovirus component (type 2b)

number of days following vaccination. However, due to the low pathogenicity of this
strain, it is not necessary to keep vaccinated animals separated from non-vaccinated
animals.
High levels of maternally derived antibodies (MDA) may interfere with the response to
vaccination. Although the vaccine has been shown to be efficacious in the presence of
levels of MDA that are likely to be encountered under field conditions, where for any
reason it is likely that particularly high levels of MDA are present (for example against
the CPV component), this should be taken into account when planning the timing of
vaccinations.
