Reg. No. G3851 Act 36/1947

INDICATIONS:

A live freeze-dried vaccine for the active immunization of healthy fowls and turkeys against Fowl Pox and Mycoplasma gallisepticum infection.

STORAGE:

Store in a refrigerator at 2 – 7 °C. Do not freeze.

Protect from sunlight.

Improper storage of the vaccine may cause potency losses.

COMPOSITION:

This vaccine contains a live freeze-dried Fowl Pox virus (Cutter strain) that has been genetically modified to contain and express key protective Mycoplasma gallisepticum (Strain S6 and Strain R) antigens. Minimum titre per dose is 10^2.7 TCID₅₀.

WARNINGS:

Do not slaughter fowls or turkeys for human consumption within 21 days after vaccination.

Vaccinate healthy fowls and turkeys only.

Destroy any unused vaccine by for example burning; dispose of all the vaccine containers when the vaccination is completed.

Contains traces of gentamycin and amphotericin B as preservatives.

Fowls and turkeys receiving this vaccine must not have been previously vaccinated with another Fowl Pox vaccine or been exposed to Fowl Pox in the field due to interference with immunity after vaccination.

Do not administer this vaccine within 4 weeks prior to the onset of production or after egg production has begun.

Keep out of reach of children, uninformed persons and animals.

Although this remedy has been extensively tested under a large variety of conditions, failure thereof may ensue as a result of a wide range of reasons. If this is suspected, seek veterinary advice and notify the registration holder.

PRECAUTIONS:

All the fowls or turkeys in the flock must be vaccinated at the same time.

Observe aseptic precautions. Ensure that all vaccination equipment is clean and sterile prior to use.

Do not contaminate with disinfectant or spirits.

Use according to the number of doses as indicated on the label. Always round the number of doses up (eg. 20 000 doses for 19 450 fowls) and do not stretch the dosage.

Do not mix with other vaccines.

Mix only the amount of vaccine to be used immediately and use promptly.

Use entire contents of the vial when first opened- do not store partially used containers for future use.

Do not use the contents of damaged vials.

It is good vaccination practice when handling the vaccine to avoid contact with the eyes or mucous membranes, hands and clothing.

Wash and disinfect hands with a disinfectant after vaccination.

DIRECTIONS FOR USE: Use only as indicated.

VECTORMUNE^® FP-MG is recommended for use in fowls of at least 8 weeks of age but 4 weeks prior to the onset of lay and turkeys of at least 4 weeks of age as an aid in the prevention of Fowl Pox and Mycoplasma gallisepticum infection.

Wing web administration:

Remove the seal and stopper from the vaccine vial and diluent vial. Pour the entire contents of the diluent vial into the vaccine vial, insert stopper and shake well until the vaccine is completely dissolved.

The vaccine is ready for use and should be used within one hour.

Hold each individual fowl and spread the wing with the underside facing up.

Dip the double-pronged applicator into the vaccine so that the grooves fill with liquid. Insert the applicator into the web portion of the wing. Avoid piercing the feathers, wing muscle, bone or large blood vessels.

Re-dip the applicator between each application.

Seven to ten days after vaccination, observe several fowls for evidence of satisfactory local reactions or “takes” that include swelling and/or scab formation at the site of injection. Turkeys should be examined for evidence of “takes” at ten to fourteen days after vaccination.

The lack of “takes” in a vaccinated flock is indicative of either improper handling of the vaccine, or interference of the vaccine if the flock previously was infected with Fowl Pox virus either through vaccination or field exposure.

Re-vaccination is warranted if fowls lack a satisfactory “take.”

PRESENTATION:

20 mℓ glass vials containing 1 000 doses with diluent and wing web applicators.
