Directions:

Aseptically rehydrate the freeze-dried vaccine with the sterile diluent provided. Mix well before administration. Use sterile syringes and needles. Do not sterilize equipment with chemical disinfectants, as residue may inactivate the vaccine. Do not mix with other products except as specified on the label. Administer 2 mL per animal. In accordance with Beef Quality Assurance guidelines, subcutaneous injections should be given in the neck region.

Dosage & Vaccination Schedule:

• Primary vaccination: Administer one 2 mL dose to healthy cattle.
• Administration routes: Subcutaneous (SQ) or intramuscular (IM). A 9-month duration of immunity has been demonstrated when administered SQ.
• Calves: Maternal antibodies may interfere with active immunity. Calves vaccinated before 6 months of age should be revaccinated after 6 months of age.
• Revaccination: Annual revaccination is recommended. Consult a veterinarian or the manufacturer for guidance. Revaccination may be considered when subsequent stress or exposure is likely.

Precautions:

• Pregnancy: Do not use in pregnant cows unless they were vaccinated according to label directions with a Bovi-Shield GOLD FP or PregGuard GOLD FP vaccine within the previous 12 months. Vaccination outside this condition may result in abortions. Fetal health risks associated with modified-live vaccines have not been fully determined in clinical trials. Discuss vaccination strategies with a veterinarian.
• Calves nursing pregnant cows: May be vaccinated only if their dams received a Bovi-Shield GOLD FP or PregGuard GOLD FP vaccine according to label directions within the previous 12 months.
• Animal health: For use in healthy cattle. A protective immune response may be reduced in animals that are incubating disease, malnourished, parasitized, stressed, immunocompromised, or vaccinated contrary to label directions.
