Zoetis Spirovac VL5 Cattle Vaccine, 250mL/50 Dose

SPIROVAC VL5 is for vaccination of healthy cattle, including pregnant cows and heifers, over 4 weeks of age, as an aid in preventing disease caused by the above organisms. In addition, it is especially recommended to prevent establishment of L. hardjo in the kidney, and thus shedding in the urine, for at least 12 months. SPIROVAC VL5 also prevents the establishment of L. hardjo in the genital tract and aids in preventing infection of the fetus.

Features:

• Protects against leptospirosis caused by L. borgpetersenii serovar hardjo (Type: hardjo-bovis), an antigen not contained in some standard L5 vaccines.
• Prevents hardjo-bovis bacteria from infecting the kidneys and reproductive tract.
• Provides 12-month duration of immunity (DOI) against establishment of L. hardjo in the kidney, and thus shedding in the urine.
• Helps prevent hardjo-bovis transmission in utero.
• Helps provide strong fetal protection, helping prevent long term maintenance host infections and fetal infections.
• Safe for use in pregnant cows, making it easy to implement whole-herd protection.
• Helps deliver protection in calves as young as four weeks of age, helping prevent hardjo-bovis.

Directions

1. General directions: Vaccination of healthy cattle, including pregnant cows and heifers, is recommended. Shake well. Aseptically administer 5 mL subcutaneously or intramuscularly high on the side of the neck.
2. Primary vaccination: Healthy cattle should receive two doses administered four to six weeks apart with booster doses given as necessary. When used as an aid in preventing genital or fetal infection, booster doses should be completed at least two weeks prior to breeding. Primary vaccination with this product in calves from four weeks of age with a second dose four to six weeks later will prevent infection, colonization and subsequent shedding of hardjo-bovis, a source of further infection in the herd.
3. Revaccination: Annual revaccination with a single dose is recommended. Include all bulls in programs of vaccination. As part of normal biosecurity procedures, all replacement animals should begin a two-dose course of vaccination upon arrival.
4. Good animal husbandry and herd health management practices should be employed.
