4.4 SPECIAL WARNINGS FOR EACH TARGET SPECIES
None.
4.5 SPECIAL PRECAUTIONS FOR USE
SPECIAL PRECAUTIONS FOR USE IN ANIMALS
The canine parvovirus vaccinal strain may be shed from vaccinated
animals for a
number of days following vaccination. However, due to the low
pathogenicity of this
strain, it is not necessary to keep vaccinated animals seperated from
non-vaccinated
animals.
Due to the presence of maternally derived antibodies, a small
percentage of pups
may fail to mount an adequate immune response to vaccination and may
be at risk
from disease when the local disease challenge is sufficiently high.
The percentage of
puppies that fail to mount an adequate immune response to vaccination
is greater
when the final vaccination is given at 10 weeks of age than
