Feline UltraNasal® FVRC Vaccine

Description and General Information:

Feline Rhinotracheitis-Calici Vaccine, MLV is designed for intranasal administration. Each of the viruses is widespread and are common disease causing agents of cats.

Indications:

Recommended for the vaccination of healthy cats and kittens at least 12 weeks of age for the prevention of disease due to feline herpesvirus-1 (the cause of feline rhinotracheitis) and as an aid in the prevention of disease due to feline calicivirus. Cats can be vaccinated with a single dose at 12 weeks of age. If cats are vaccinated at less than 12 weeks of age, a second vaccination should be administered at 12-16 weeks of age. Annual revaccination is recommended.

Precautions:

Store out of direct sunlight at a temperature between 35° F – 45° F (2° C – 7° C). Use the entire contents of the vial when first opened. Do not vaccinate pregnant animals. Burn containers and all unused contents.

In rare instances, reactions can occur due to unusual sensitivity following use of this product. In such cases, administer epinephrine as an antidote. The vaccine will not protect against disease in the face of incubating feline herpesvirus or feline calicivirus infection. Therefore, only healthy cats should be considered as candidates for vaccination.

Transient sneezing for one or more days after vaccination is not uncommon. A small number of cats may experience other mild post-vaccination side effects including ocular and/or nasal discharge, GI signs (such as vomiting) or, in rare instances, nasal or oral ulcers. These signs are usually mild and clear without treatment.

Administer a single 0.2 ml dose intranasally, divided into both nostrils. NOTE: Use a new dropper for each cat vaccinated. No needles are necessary to administer the vaccine. This vaccine is NOT intended for intramuscular or subcutaneous injection.

Administer a single 0.2 ml dose intranasally, divided into both nostrils.
