Formalinised aluminium hydroxide gel adsorbed suspension
of inactivated Salmonella dublin, S.
typhimurium and S. bovis-morbificans bacteria for prophylactic
immunisation of calves against paratyphoid.
Store the vaccine at a temperature of 4 °C
to 8 °C, in a refrigerator.
Do not use the vaccine after the expiry date printed
on the bottle.
RECOMMENDATIONS FOR USE
The inactivated vaccine is designed primarily for use
on premises where paratyphoid due to S. typhimurium
and S. bovis-morbificans is prevalent. It will also
afford protection against S. dublin infections but a
single injection of the live paratyphoid vaccine is
adequate for routine use.
A single injection of the vaccine gives a fair degree
of immunity but the application of two injections
provides a superior level of protection and this procedure
is recommended.
The inactivated vaccine may be used concomitantly with
antibiotic therapy.
Calves very rarely contract paratyphoid before they
are two weeks old but in the instances where this
might occur, the vaccine may be administered to the
pregnant cows.
WARNINGS
Do not slaughter animals for human consumption
within 7 days of vaccination.
Vaccine healthy animals only.
Keep out of reach of children, uninformed persons and
animals.
Occasionally animals on certain farms may show shock
reactions shortly after injection of the
vaccine. In such circumstances a veterinarian should
be consulted.
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 temperature and direct sunlight
during inoculation.
Calves should be given two subcutaneous injections at
an interval of 10-14 days. The first injection must
be given at 7-10 days of age and the second at approximately
three weeks of age.
If cows are immunised, they should be given two injections
at approximately 4-6 and 2-3 weeks respectively
before calving.
DOSAGE:
Calves: 5 ml subcutaneously
Cows: 10 ml subcutaneously
EFFECTS OF THE VACCINE
Calves may show a very slight transient temperature
reaction.
The vaccine may occasionally give rise to a nodule at
the injection site.
Immunity develops 7-14 days after the second injection
but, however, cannot be guaranteed in all animals.
