CLINICAL PARTICULARS
Target species
Indications for use, specifying the target species
Active immunisation of cats aged 8 weeks and older:
-
against feline viral rhinotracheitis to reduce clinical signs,
-
against calicivirus infection to reduce clinical signs,
-
against
Chlamydophila felis
infection to reduce clinical signs,
-
against feline panleucopenia to prevent mortality and clinical signs.
Onsets of immunity have been demonstrated 1 week after primary vaccination course for
rhinotracheitis, calicivirus,
Chlamydophila felis
and panleucopenia components.
Duration of immunity:
-
Rhinotracheitis, calicivirosis and panleucopenia components: 1 year after primary vaccination
course and 3 years after the last re-vaccination
-
Chlamydophila felis component: 1 year after the last re-vaccination.

None.
4.4
Contraindications
Special warnings for each target species
Vaccinate healthy animals only.
4.5
Special precautions for use
Special precautions for use in animals
None.
Special precautions to be taken by the person administering the veterinary medicinal product to
animals
In case of accidental self-injection, seek medical advice immediately and show the package leaflet or
the label to the physician.
This vaccine should not be handled by persons who are immunodeficient or taking
immunosuppressive medicinal products. If self-injection occurs, immediate medical advice should be
sought and the doctor informed that self-injection with a living chlamydial vaccine has occurred.
4.6
Adverse reactions (frequency and seriousness)
Transient apathy and anorexia as well as hyperthermia (lasting usually for 1 or 2 days) were
commonly observed during safety and field studies. A local reaction (slight pain at palpation, itching
or limited oedema) that disappears within 1 or 2 weeks at most was commonly observed during safety
and field studies.
A hypersensitivity reaction has been observed uncommonly in field studies, which may require
appropriate symptomatic treatment.
Emesis (mostly within 24 to 48 hours) has been observed in very rare cases based on post-marketing
safety experience.
Transient hyperthermia and lethargy, sometimes associated with lameness, have been observed 1 to
3 weeks booster vaccination in adult cats, in very rare cases, based on post marketing safety
experience.
The frequency of adverse reactions is defined using the following convention:
- very common (more than 1 in 10 animals treated displaying adverse reaction(s))
- common (more than 1 but less than 10 animals treated in 100 animals)
- uncommon (more than 1 but less than 10 animals treated in 1,000 animals )
- rare (more than 1 but less than 10 animals in 10,000 animals treated )
- very rare (less than 1 animal in 10,000 animals treated, including isolated reports).
4.7
Use during pregnancy, lactation or lay
Do not use during the whole pregnancy and lactation.
4.8
Interaction with other medicinal products and other forms of interaction
Safety and efficacy data are available which demonstrate that this vaccine can be mixed and
administered with Boehringer Ingelheim non-adjuvanted vaccine against feline leukaemia and/or
administered the same day but not mixed with Boehringer Ingelheim adjuvanted vaccine against
rabies.
Safety and efficacy data are available which demonstrate that this vaccine can be mixed and
administered with Boehringer Ingelheim non-adjuvanted vaccine against rabies.

No information is available on the safety and efficacy of this vaccine when used with any other
veterinary medicinal product except the products mentioned above. 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
Subcutaneous route.
Reconstitute gently the vaccine in order to obtain a uniform suspension with limited foam formation.
Visual appearance after reconstitution: clear slightly yellow suspension.
After reconstitution of the lyophilisate with 0.5 ml or 1 ml of the solvent (depending on the
presentation chosen), inject one dose of vaccine according to the following vaccination scheme:
Primary vaccination course:
-
first injection: from 8 weeks of age,
-
second injection: 3 to 4 weeks later.
Where high levels of maternal antibodies against rhinotracheitis, calicivirosis, panleucopenia or
Chlamydophila
components are expected to be present (e.g. in kittens of 9 to 12 weeks of age born
from queens which were vaccinated before pregnancy and/or with known or suspected previous
exposure to the pathogen(s)), the primary vaccination course should be delayed until 12 weeks of age.
Revaccination:
-
the first revaccination must be carried out for all components one year after the primary
vaccination course,
-
subsequent revaccinations must be carried out
-
Chlamydiosis component: every year.
-
Rhinotracheitis, calicivirosis and panleucopenia components: at intervals of up to three
years.
4.10 Overdose (symptoms, emergency procedures, antidotes), if necessary
No effect other than those already mentioned in section 4.6 “Adverse reactions” have been observed,
except hyperthermia that may exceptionally last 5 days.

ADVERSE REACTIONS
Transient apathy and anorexia as well as hyperthermia (lasting usually for 1 or 2 days) were
commonly observed during safety and field studies. A local reaction (slight pain at palpation, itching
or limited oedema) that disappears within 1 or 2 weeks at most was commonly observed during safety
and field studies.
A hypersensitivity reaction has been observed uncommonly in field studies, which may require
appropriate symptomatic treatment.
Emesis (mostly within 24 to 48 hours) has been observed in very rare cases based on post-marketing
safety experience.
Transient hyperthermia and lethargy, sometimes associated with lameness, have been observed 1 to
3 weeks following booster vaccination in adult cats, in very rare cases, based on post marketing safety
experience.
The frequency of adverse reactions is defined using the following convention:
- very common (more than 1 in 10 animals treated displaying adverse reaction(s))
- common (more than 1 but less than 10 animals treated in 100 animals)
- uncommon (more than 1 but less than 10 animals treated in 1,000 animals)
- rare (more than 1 but less than 10 animals in 10,000 animals treated)
- very rare (less than 1 animal in 10,000 animals treated , including isolated reports).
If you notice any side effects, even those not already listed in this package leaflet or you think that the
medicine has not worked, please inform your veterinary surgeon.
