STORAGE INSTRUCTIONS

  • Store between 2 °C – 8 °C in a refrigerator.

WARNINGS

  • Vaccinate healthy dogs and puppies only.
  • Pregnant animals may be vaccinated.
  • Following initial vaccination, dogs should not be exposed to infection for at least 14 days.
  • In case of accidental self-injection may lead to severe allergic reactions. Seek medical advice immediately and show the package leaflet to the physician.
  • Experience has shown that maternal parvovirus antibody status of the puppies in a litter varies greatly and reliance should not be placed on serological examination of the bitch alone.
  • KEEP OUT OF REACH OF CHILDREN, UNINFORMED PERSONS AND ANIMALS.
  • Although this vaccine 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.

  • Avoid intravenous injection.
  • Avoid contamination of the vaccine with traces of disinfectant and spirits.
  • As with all vaccines, hypersensitivity or anaphylactic reactions may occur.
  • It is good vaccination practice when handling the vaccine to avoid contact with the eyes, hands and clothing.
  • Destroy any unused vaccine and dispose of all the empty vaccine containers and disposable equipment after use in accordance with National Environmental Management: Waste Act, 2008 (Act No. 59 of 2008).
  • Do not contaminate rivers, dams or any water sources with containers or waste.
