Sarcocystis Neurona Vaccine Caution

Successful field safety tests have included both seropositive and seronegative horses. Due to the prolonged incubation period and pathogenesis of S. neurona infection, vaccination of healthy horses infected with S. neurona may not prevent further progression of S. neurona infection or clinical signs of EPM. Store in dark at 2° to 7°C (35° to 45°F). Avoid freezing. Use entire contents when first opened.

In some instances, transient local reactions may occur at the injection site. Do not vaccinate within 21 days before slaughter. In case of anaphylactoid reaction, administer epinephrine.
