PRODUCT CODE AND NAME: Spirovac VL5; 100679, 100680
DESCRIPTION: Spirovac VL5 contains a specially prepared, inactivated and adjuvanted unique strain of Leptospira borgpetersenii serovar hardjo-bovis together with inactivated and adjuvanted cultures of L. Pomona, L grippotyphosa, L canicola, L icterhaemorrhagiae and Campylobacter fetus.
ADVANTAGES: Spirovac VL5 protects against leptospirosis cause by L borgpetersenii serovar hardjo (Type: hardjo-bovis), an antigen not contained in standard L5 vaccines. Spirovac VL5 prevents harjo-bovis bacteria from infecting the kidneys and reproductive tract, stopping transmission. Spirovac VL5 provides 12 month duration of immunity (DOI) against hardjo-bovis, which means less time and labor required, increasing peace of mind. Spirova VL5 provides strong placental and fetal protection helping prevent long-term maintenance host infections. It also is safe for use in pregnant cows, making it easy to implement whole-herd protection. Spirovac VL5 stimulates a vigorous cell-mediated immune response, increasing ability to protect against hardjo-bovis.
DOSAGE AND ADMINISTRATION: General Directions: Vaccination of healthy cattle, including pregnant cows and heifers, is recommended. Shake well. Aseptically administer 5mLsubcutaneously or intramuscularly high on the side of the neck.Primary Vaccinations: Healthy cattle should receive 2 doses administered 4-6 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 2 weeks prior to breeding. Primary vaccination with this product in calves from 4 weeks of age with a second dose 4-6 weeks later will prevent infection, colonization and subsequent shedding of serovar hardjo-bovis, a source of further infection in the herd.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.
