Bovine Rotavirus-Coronavirus Vaccine

Modified Live Virus

For veterinary use only

This product has been shown to be effective for the vaccination of healthy newborn calves or pregnant cows against diarrhea (scours) caused by bovine rotavirus and bovine coronavirus. Duration of immunity has not been established. For more information regarding efficacy and safety data, see productdata.aphis.usda.gov.

Directions For Use

Aseptically rehydrate the freeze-dried vaccine with the sterile diluent provided, shake well, and administer 3 mL without delay. Calves: Remove needle from syringe and administer a single 3-mL dose into the back of the calf’s mouth. Vaccination should occur as soon as possible after birth because susceptible calves are at risk as soon as they are born. Vaccination of calves older than 1 day may not be effective. Cows: Healthy cows should receive two 3-mL intramuscular doses administered 3-6 weeks apart during late pregnancy. Ideally, the second dose should be administered within 30 days prior to calving. In accordance with Beef Quality Assurance guidelines, this product should be administered in the muscular region of the neck. For advice on revaccination frequency, contact your veterinarian.

Precautions

Store at 2°-8°C. Do not freeze. Use entire contents when first opened. Sterilized syringes and needles should be used to administer this vaccine. Do not sterilize with chemicals because traces of disinfectant may inactivate the vaccine. Inactivate unused contents before disposal. Do not vaccinate within 21 days before slaughter. Contains gentamicin as preservative. Fetal health risks associated with vaccination of pregnant animals with modified live vaccines cannot be unequivocally determined by clinical trials conducted for licensure. Management strategies based on vaccination of pregnant animals with modified live vaccines should be discussed with a veterinarian. As with many vaccines, anaphylaxis may occur after use. Initial antidote of epinephrine is recommended and should be followed with appropriate supportive therapy. Do not mix with other products, except as specified above. In case of human exposure, contact a physician.
