NAME OF VETERINARY THE MEDICINAL PRODUCT
Porcilis PCV emulsion for injection for pigs
QUALITATIVE AND QUANTITATIVE COMPOSITION
Each dose of 2 ml contains:
Active substance:
Porcine circovirus type 2 ORF2 subunit antigen: at least 4.5 log
2
ELISA units*
* Antibody titre obtained according to the
in vivo
potency test in chickens.
Adjuvants
Dl-α-tocopheryl acetate 25 mg
Light liquid paraffin
Excipient:
Polysorbate 80
For a full list of excipients, see section 6.1
4.2 Indications for use, specifying the target species
For the active immunisation of pigs to reduce the virus load in blood and lymphoid tissues and to
reduce mortality and weight loss associated with PCV2 infection occurring during the fattening period.
Onset of immunity: 2 weeks
Duration of immunity: 22 weeks
From the data provided, it can be concluded that a single dose regimen of vaccination breaks through
up to medium levels and double dose regimen through medium to high levels of maternally derived
antibodies in piglets.
No data are available on the use of the vaccine in breeding boars.
4.5 Special precautions for use
Special precautions for use in animals
Vaccinate only healthy animals.
Special precautions to be taken by the person administering the veterinary medicinal product to
animals
To the user:
This product contains mineral oil. Accidental injection/self injection may result in severe pain and
swelling, particularly if injected into a joint or finger, and, in rare cases, could result in the loss of the
affected finger if prompt medical attention is not given.
If you are accidentally injected with this product, seek prompt medical advice even if only a very
small amount is injected and take the package insert with you.
If pain persists for more than 12 hours after medical examination, seek medical advice again.
To the physician:
This product contains mineral oil. Even if small amounts have been injected, accidental injection with
this product can cause intense swelling, which may, for example, result in ischaemic necrosis and even
the loss of a digit. Expert, PROMPT, surgical attention is required and may necessitate early incision
and irrigation of the injected area, especially where there is involvement of finger pulp or tendon.
4.6 Adverse reactions (frequency and seriousness)
Transient local reactions at the injection site may occur after vaccination mainly in the form of a hard,
warm and sometimes painful swelling (diameter up to 10 cm). These reactions resolve spontaneously
over a period of approximately 14-21 days without any major consequence on the general health status
of the animals. Immediate systemic hypersensitivity-like reactions may occur after vaccination,
resulting in minor neurological symptoms such as tremors and/or excitation, which normally resolve
within minutes without requiring treatment. A transient increase in body temperature, normally not
exceeding 1°C, may occur until 2 days after vaccination. Occasionally, an increase of rectal
temperature up to 2.5 °C lasting less than 24 hours may occur. Some piglets may be depressed and
show a reduced feed intake for up to 5 days. Vaccination may result in a transient impairment of
growth rate in the immediate period after administration of the vaccine.
4.7 Use during pregnancy, lactation or lay
Do not use during pregnancy and lactation.
4.8 Interaction with other medicinal products and other forms of interaction
No information is available on the safety and efficacy of this vaccine when used with any other
veterinary medicinal product. A decision to use this vaccine before or after any other veterinary
medicinal product therefore needs to be decided on a case by case basis.
4.9 Amounts to be administered and administration route
Before using the vaccine, allow it to reach room temperature and shake well before use. Avoid
multiple vial broaching. Use sterile syringes and needles. Avoid introduction of contamination. Avoid
use of vaccination equipment with rubber parts.
Vaccination
Administer one dose of 2 ml by intramuscular injection in the neck, in the area behind the ear,
according to the following schedule:
In the case of low to medium levels of maternally derived antibodies against PCV2 a single
vaccination (2 ml) to pigs from an age of 3 weeks onwards is advised.
When it is expected that higher levels of maternally derived antibodies against PCV2 are present, the
following schedule of two vaccinations is advised: the first injection (2 ml) can be given from an age
of 3-5 days, the second injection (2 ml) 2-3 weeks later.
High levels of MDA may be expected when sows/gilts are vaccinated against PCV2 virus or when
sows/gilts have recently been exposed to high levels of PCV2 virus. In such cases it is advised to
perform PCV2 serology, using suitable diagnostics, to select the most appropriate vaccination
schedule. In case of doubt, apply the two shot vaccination schedule
.
4.10 Overdose (symptoms, emergency procedures, antidotes) (if necessary)
Following the administration of a double dose of vaccine no side effects other than those described in
section 4.6 have been observed.
Pharmacotherapeutic group: Inactivated Porcine circovirus vaccine.
Vaccine to stimulate active immunity against Porcine circovirus type 2
