This vaccine has been shown to be efficacious in healthy animals. A protective immune response may not be elicited:

• if animals are incubating an infectious disease,
• are malnourished or parasitised,
• are stressed due to shipment or environmental conditions,
• are otherwise immuno compromised,
• or the vaccine is not administered in accordance with label directions.

Although this vaccine 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.

Do not use in pregnant cows, unless they were vaccinated with any Bovi-Shield FP product, according to label directions, with the last vaccination within the last 12 months.

Use the entire contents when first opened.

Do not use in calves nursing pregnant cows unless their dams were vaccinated within the past 12 months with any Bovi-Shield FP product. According to label directions sterilized syringes and needles should be used to administer the vaccine. Do not sterilize with chemicals because traces of disinfectant may inactivate the vaccine.
