SPECIAL PRECAUTIONS FOR USE
i). Special precautions for use in animals
The product is a live vaccine and is excreted from vaccinated birds
and so spreads to
unvaccinated chickens and turkeys. Reversion to virulence trials
carried out in the
laboratory have shown that the strain does not revert to virulence
neither in chickens
nor in turkeys. However, precautionary measures have to be followed in
order to
diminish the spread, see 4.5, 4.9, and 6.6.
It is advised not to vaccinate in the presence of other sensitive
species (guinea fowl,
pheasant), taking into account the spread of the vaccine strain and
the lack of safety
data for these species.
