Canine Distemper-adenovirus Type 2-parainfluenza-parvovirus Vaccine

Modified Live Virus, Canarypox Vector

Description

RECOMBITEK® C4 contains a lyophilized suspension of a recombinant canarypox vector expressing the HA and F glycoproteins of canine distemper virus; modified live adenovirus type 2, parainfluenza virus, and parvovirus; plus sterile water diluent. Safety and immunogenicity of this product have been demonstrated by vaccination and challenge tests in susceptible dogs.

RECOMBITEK C4 Indications

RECOMBITEK® C4 is recommended for the vaccination of healthy dogs 6 weeks of age and older for prevention of disease due to canine distemper virus, canine parvovirus, canine adenovirus type 1 (canine hepatitis), canine adenovirus type 2 (canine respiratory disease complex), and canine parainfluenza virus.

Dosage

Reconstitute the lyophilized vaccine with accompanying liquid diluent and aseptically inject 1 mL (1 dose) subcutaneously or intramuscularly into healthy dogs. For primary vaccination, revaccinate with a second 1 mL dose 2 to 3 weeks later. Dogs younger than 12 weeks of age should be revaccinated with a single 1 mL dose every 2 to 3 weeks, the last dose given at or over 12 weeks of age. Revaccinate annually with a single 1 mL dose.

Precautions

Store at 2-7°C (35-45°F). Use immediately after reconstitution. Do not use chemicals to sterilize syringes and needles. Burn container and all unused contents. Contains gentamicin as a preservative. It is generally recommended to avoid vaccination of pregnant dogs. In rare instances, administration of vaccines may cause lethargy, fever, and inflammatory or hypersensitivity types of reactions. Treatment may include antihistamines, anti-inflammatories, and/or epinephrine, as directed by a veterinarian.
