QUALITATIVE AND QUANTITATIVE COMPOSITION
One dose of 2 ml contains:
Inactivated recombinant Porcine Circovirus type 1 expressing the Porcine

*
Relative Potency unit determined by ELISA antigen quantification (
in vitro
potency test) compared
to a reference vaccine.
For a full list of excipients, see section 6.1.
Pigs (piglets) from 3 weeks of age.
4.2
Indications for use, specifying the target species
Active immunisation of pigs over the age of 3 weeks against Porcine Circovirus type 2 (PCV2) to
reduce viral load in blood and lymphoid tissues, and the lesions in lymphoid tissues associated with
PCV2 infection, as well as to reduce clinical signs - including loss of daily weight gain, and mortality
associated with Post-Weaning Multisystemic Wasting Syndrome (PMWS).
Onset of immunity: from 3 weeks post-vaccination.
Duration of immunity: 19 weeks post-vaccination.
Do not use in breeding boars.
The benefit of the vaccination of pigs with very high levels of maternally-derived antibodies, e.g. due
to vaccination of their mothers, has not been demonstrated.
4.5
Special precautions for use
Special precautions for use in animals
Vaccinate only healthy animals.
Avoid stress in the animals before and after the time of vaccination.
Special precautions to be taken by the person administering the veterinary medicinal product to
animals
4.6
Adverse reactions (frequency and seriousness)
A transient increase in body temperature (up to 1.7°C) is very common during the first 24 hours after
vaccination. This resolves spontaneously within 48 hours without treatment.
Local tissue reactions in the form of swelling at the injection site are very common and may last for up
to 26 days. The area of local tissue reactions is in general below 5 cm in diameter, but in some cases a
larger swelling may occur. In clinical studies, a post-mortem examination of the injection site,
performed 8 weeks after the administration of a single dose of the vaccine, revealed a mild to
moderate granulomatous inflammation of the muscular fibres at the injection site.
Vomiting occurs commonly (1-10 % in average, but up to 25% in a particular herd) during the first
hour after vaccination, but no consequential negative effects are observed.
Anaphylactic reactions are uncommon. In case of such reactions, appropriate treatment is
recommended. If left untreated, anaphylactic reactions might be lethal.
4.7
Use during pregnancy, lactation or lay
Do not use during pregnancy and lactation.
4.8
Interactions 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 made on a case by case basis.
4.9
Amounts to be administered and administration route
Shake well before administration and intermittently during the process of vaccination.
The use of a multi-dosing syringe is recommended. Use vaccination devices according to the
manufacturer’s instructions.
The vaccine is to be administered aseptically.
Administer one dose of 2 ml to piglets in the neck behind the ear.
Vaccination schedule:
One injection from 21 days of age.
4.10
Overdose (symptoms, emergency procedures, antidotes), if necessary
No adverse reactions except those mentioned in section 4.6 were observed after the administration of a
double dose of vaccine.
