Zoetis Pinnacle I.N. (Intranasal) Streptococcus Equi Vaccine 10 x 2.5 ml

To help protect horses against strangles, look to PINNACLE^® I.N. — the only modified-live bacterial vaccine developed to help prevent strangles caused by Streptococcus equi (S. equi).

Strangles is a highly contagious upper-respiratory infection most common in young horses. Strangles symptoms can include fever, difficulty swallowing, abnormal breathing, nasal discharge, swelling and/or abscesses of the lymph nodes.¹ The disease can spread quickly and is easily transmitted through direct animal-to-animal contact or by objects — buckets, bridles or human hands — that have come in contact with infected horses. Your horse may be at risk for strangles if he travels to events or shows or is exposed to horses that travel, such as within a boarding barn.

• For the vaccination of healthy horses 9 months of age or older as an aid in the prevention of disease caused by S. equi.

Dosage: Aseptically rehydrate with the entire contents of the accompanying sterile diluent. Instill the entire rehydrated vaccine into one nostril using a syringe with applicator tip. Administer a second dose two to three weeks later. Annual revaccination is recommended.

For intranasal use only. Do not administer by any other route than intranasal.

Always read and follow label indications.

• This product contains live bacteria and is designed for intranasal use only.
• Disinfect hands and equipment after use. Contamination of the user’s hands or equipment with reconstituted vaccine could lead to infections if proper disinfection practices are not followed prior to procedures that require asepsis.
• Injection equipment used to reconstitute or administer PINNACLE^® I.N. should not be reused and should be disposed of appropriately. In case of anaphylactoid reaction, administer epinephrine. After administration, a small number of horses may experience noncontagious transitory upper respiratory signs, including nasal discharge and lymphadenectasis. Purpura hemorrhagica may be seen in hypersensitive individuals following exposure to streptococcal proteins.
