reconstitution. Withdraw the liquid with the syringe, remove the needle and

dose then administered into one nostril. The veterinary medicinal product should then
be used immediately.
The head of the dog should be held with the nose pointing upwards. Administer one
dose (0.5 ml) of the reconstituted veterinary medicinal product into one nostril.

opalescence.

Mild and generally subside without treatment within 1 to 3 days.
Mild to moderate and observed in vaccinated dogs within 48 hours to one week after

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 the package leaflet for respective contact details.
This veterinary medicinal product contains a live attenuated bacterial strain and
antibiotics may interfere with the veterinary medicinal product's efficacy. Therefore,
vaccinated dogs should not receive antibiotic treatment. If antibiotics are used within
one week after vaccination, vaccination against Bordetella bronchiseptica should be
repeated e.g. with a Bb monovalent vaccine (if available) after completion of the
antibiotic treatment.
Special precautions for safe use in the target species:
After vaccination dogs may excrete the vaccine strain Bordetella bronchiseptica
up to 11 weeks and the vaccine strain canine parainfluenza virus for 8 days.
Unvaccinated dogs can manifest mild clinical signs such as sneezing and nasal and
ocular discharge after contact with vaccinated dogs.
The transmission of vaccine strains to cats, pigs and rodents could not be
demonstrated. However, as the possibility of transmission to non-target species
cannot be rejected, it is recommended to keep non-vaccinated animals out of close
contact with vaccinated dogs for at least 4 weeks.
Safe handling and proper administration of the veterinary medicinal product and
disposal of used material contribute to eliminating the risk of spreading the vaccine
antigens in the veterinary workplace.
Special precautions to be taken by the person administering the veterinary medicinal
product to animals:
Hands and tools should be disinfected after use.
In case of accidental self-administration during dilution of the veterinary medicinal
product or inhalation of the veterinary medicinal product in the form of aerosol during
administration into the nostril of a dog, seek medical advice immediately and show
the package leaflet or the label to the physician.
Although the risk that immunocompromised people are infected with Bordetella
bronchiseptica is extremely low, it should be borne in mind that dogs can excrete the
bacteria for up to several weeks after vaccination. Immunocompromised persons are
advised to avoid contact with the veterinary medicinal product and vaccinated dogs
during excretion.
Special precautions for the protection of the environment:
Not applicable.
when given at the same time as vaccines of the Versican Plus/Biocan Novel and
Vanguard ranges containing live canine parvovirus, adenovirus, distemper virus,
parainfluenza virus as well as inactivated Leptospira and rabies virus. Mild (< 1 ºC),
transient increases in temperature were very commonly observed following co-
administration of these vaccines.
Efficacy after concurrent use has not been tested. Therefore, while safety of
concurrent use has been demonstrated, the veterinarian should take this into account
when deciding to administer the veterinary medicinal products at the same time.
Although proven safe it should not be necessary to give a parainfluenza vaccine
twice by two different routes, therefore the veterinarian should consider vaccination
options based on local availability of core vaccines without parainfluenza and
monovalent Bordetella vaccines.
No information is available on the safety and efficacy of this veterinary medicinal
product when used with any other veterinary medicinal product except the products
mentioned above. A decision to use this veterinary medicinal product before or after
any other veterinary medicinal product therefore needs to be made on a case by
case basis.
Do not freeze.
Protect from light.
