This product was licensed prior to the requirement to establish a minimum age for use. The duration of immunity has not been determined.

Although Cl. perfringens type B is not a significant problem in the U.S.A., immunity may be provided against the beta and epsilon toxins elaborated by Cl. perfringens type B. This immunity is derived from the combination of type C (beta) and type D (epsilon) fractions.
