Vaccines - 1015

Glycerine suspension of avirulent Bacillus anthracis 34F2 spores for the immunisation of cattle, horses, mules, donkeys, sheep, goats, pigs and camels against anthrax.

Store the vaccine at a temperature of 4 °C to 8 °C, in a refrigerator.
Do not use after the expiry date printed on the bottle.

RECOMMENDATIONS FOR USE
All animals should be inoculated annually. Working animals should be rested for a week to 10 days
after inoculation. Until the swelling has subsided, these animals should not be driven over long distances.

WARNINGS
Do not slaughter animals for human consumption within 14 days of vaccination.
Vaccinate healthy animals only.
Keep out of reach of children, uninformed persons and animals.
Goats must be injected in the inner thigh or tailfold as these animals are inclined to show allergic
reactions with swellings at the site of injection, which may cause suffocation if the inoculation is
given in the neck.
Despite all possible precautionary measures, the absolute safety of this vaccine can unfortunately
not be guaranteed in all animals. Occasionally animals, on certain farms, may show shock
reactions shortly after injection with the vaccine. Users of the vaccine are, therefore, advised to
first inject a number of young animals and observe them for 30-60 minutes. Should they show
no adverse reactions, the rest of the herd may be immunised.
Although this product has been extensively tested under a large variety of conditions, failure
thereof may ensue as a result of a wide range of reasons. If this is suspected, seek veterinary
advice and notify the registration holder.

DIRECTIONS FOR USE
Use only as directed.
Sterilise syringes and needles by boiling in water for at least 15 minutes. Do not use disinfectants or
methylated spirits for sterilising either syringes or needles. Use a separate needle for each animal. Shake
the bottle well before use. Avoid exposure to high temperatures and direct sunlight during inoculation
DOSAGE: 1 ml subcutaneously for all animals irrespective of species, breed or age.

EFFECTS OF THE VACCINE
The vaccine causes a swelling at the site of injection. The swelling is temporary and subsides after a
few days. Immunity develops within 2-4 weeks after vaccination and persists for approximately 9-12
months but, however, cannot be guaranteed in all animals.

PACKING
Available in bottles of 10 and 100 doses.
