INDICATIONS
For use as an aid in the prevention of tetanus.

DIRECTIONS
Store at 2° to 7° C.  Do not freeze.  Shake well before use.  Use entire contents when first opened.  Do not vaccinate within 21 days before slaughter.     

Vaccination with Tetanus Toxoid is recommended for healthy domestic animals, not infected with tetanus, to establish an active immunity for prevention against disease.  Protective antibody levels usually occur about two weeks after the second injection of the primary immunization series.   

In contrast, administration of Tetanus Antitoxin is recommended for immediate, emergency, passive treatment of exposed animals with an unknown vaccination history or with signs of tetanus infection.  Refer to the Tetanus Antitoxin product circular for full  information and consult with a veterinarian.  

PRECAUTIONS
Anaphylactoid reaction may occur following administration of products of this nature.  If noted, administer adrenalin or equivalent.  

DOSAGE AND ADMINISTRATION
Inject subcutaneously or intramuscularly as follows:

Horses & cattle: Two doses of 10ml each 
Use intramuscularly for horses, as local reactions are more likely to occur if injected subcutaneously.  

Sheep, goats, & swine:  Two doses each of 1ml per 100 lbs. body weight. 
Interval between doses should be approximately 30 days.  

Revaccinate annually using a single dose.
