|
INDICATIONS:
For use in healthy sheep and goats as an aid in the prevention of
Type 10 Bluetongue virus infection. Contains
penicillin and streptomycin as preservatives.
DIRECTIONS:
Store at 2° to 7° C. Rehydrate the
vaccine (with accompanying diluent) immediately
before use. Shake well after rehydration. Use entire contents when
first opened. Do not administer to pregnant
animals. Do not vaccinate within 21 days before slaughter.
Sterilize syringes and needles by
boiling in clean water – do not use disinfectants or detergents.
Incidence of Bluetongue is seasonal, with animals contracting the
disease mostly in August and September due
to the virus being transmitted by biting insects.
Treatment is almost totally
ineffective and preventive vaccination, late in the Spring or in
the early Summer not only is recommended, but
becomes vitally important.
Lambs from immune ewes carry a
degree of resistance to Bluetongue which may last as long
as 3 months. Lambs should be vaccinated close to weaning time as
this is the time when maternal antibodies
disappear. If vaccinated too young, the maternal antibodies
may interfere with proper active immune response.
All breeding stock should be
protected with Bluetongue Vaccine approximately three weeks
prior to breeding or after lambing.
PRECAUTIONS:
In the event of accidental human exposure, consult a physician.
Burn, autoclave or chemically disinfect container
and all unused contents.
Anaphylactoid
reaction may occur following administration of products of this
nature. If noted, administer adrenalin or
equivalent.
DOSAGE AND
ADMINISTRATION:
Inject 2 ml subcutaneously or intramuscularly in axillary
space (between foreleg and body).
