Expected to be of short duration (resolving within 48 hours). Frequency and duration of
any temperature rise is usually lower following subsequent administrations.
When administered concurrently or simultaneously with Zoetis’ Versifel CVR transient
increases in temperature (up to 40.5 °C) are frequently observed following first
vaccination lasting up to 5 days.
Transient enlargement of the pre-scapular lymph node following the second dose
administration, such enlargements are small in size (0.5 cm diameter) and only detected
upon palpation of the area following injection.
If such a reaction occurs appropriate treatment should be administered.
Normally resolves within 24 hours.
