Dose rates/directions for use:
Use only as directed.
Sterilise syringes and needles by boiling in water for at least 15 minutes. Do not use disinfectants or methylated spirits for sterilising either syringes or needles. Use a separate needle for each animal. The active ingredient of the vaccine is in the form of a powder or pellet in a small bottle. By means of a sterile syringe, transfer approximately 5 ml of sterile diluent provided to the bottle containing the freeze-dried vaccine. Mix until the powder is dissolved and then transfer this suspension back into the remaining sterile diluent and mix well to suspend evenly. The
vaccine is now ready for use and must be used immediately. Keep the vaccine cool and avoid exposure to high temperatures and direct sunlight. Shake the bottle well before use.
