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 the national competent authority via the
national reporting system. See section “Contact details” of the package leaflet.
Special precautions for use in animals
As this is a live vaccine, the vaccine strain is excreted from vaccinated birds and may
spread to turkeys. Safety trials have shown that the strain is safe for turkeys.
However, precautionary measures have to be followed in order to avoid direct or
indirect contact between vaccinated chickens and turkeys.
Special precautions to be taken by the person administering the veterinary medicinal
product to animals
The handling of liquid nitrogen should take place in a well-ventilated area.
Innovax-ND-IBD is a virus suspension packed in glass ampoules and stored in liquid
nitrogen. Before withdrawing ampoules from the liquid nitrogen canister, protective
equipment consisting of gloves, long sleeves and a facemask or goggles should be
worn. In order to prevent serious wounds, by either the liquid nitrogen or the
ampoules when removing an ampoule from the canister, hold the palm of the
(gloved) hand holding the ampoule away from the body and face. Care should be
exercised to prevent contaminating the hands, eyes and clothing with the ampoule
content. CAUTION: The ampoules have been known to explode on exposure to
sudden temperature changes. Do not thaw in hot water or ice-cold water. Thaw the
ampoules in clean water at 25 °C – 27 °C.
