WHEN TO VACCINATE
Vaccinate dogs intranasally at 3 weeks of age or older.
Annual revaccination with one dose is recommended.
PREPARATION OF THE VACCINE
1. Hold the
vaccine vial in an upright position. Flip the top up and pull to the left. The
tear-off aluminum seal is connected to the flip top and will be easily removed.
Remove, but do not discard the rubber stopper.
2. Hold the
nasal applicator in the upright position. If the diluent is visible in the neck
portion of the nasal applicator, gently tap the applicator to force the diluent
into the chamber. Hold the applicator by the neck and pull off the tip.
3. Once the
tip has been removed, carefully insert the neck of the nasal applicator into
the upright vaccine vial.
4. Gently
squeeze the diluent out of the nasal applicator into the vaccine vial. Do not
discard the nasal applicator.
5. Replace
the rubber stopper on the vaccine vial and shake gently until the vaccine is
fully rehydrated.
6. Remove
the rubber stopper from the vaccine vial and insert the neck of the nasal
applicator into the upright vaccine vial.
7. Gently
squeeze and release the nasal applicator so that the rehydrated vaccine is
drawn back into the nasal applicator.
8. While
holding the nasal applicator in an upright position, slide a nasal disk over
the neck of the nasal applicator.
9. The
vaccine is now ready to use.
DOSAGE AND ADMINISTRATION
The recommended dose is 0.5 mL of rehydrated vaccine
administered intranasally.
The vaccine is instilled using a nasal disk. By gently
squeezing the body of the nasal applicator, squirt the rehydrated vaccine into
one or both nostrils of the dog.
