re pain and swelling. Special care must be taken when connecting the applicator to the needle to avoid needle-stick injuries. In case of accidental self-injection, seek medical advice immediately and show the package insert or the label to the physician even if only a very small amount is injected. To the physician: This product contains a live auxotrophic deletion mutant Streptococcus equi vaccine strain with attenuated virulence. However, the bacterial compounds of this product can cause an inflammatory reaction with intense and painful swelling after accidental injection. Anti-inflammatory therapy is indicated even if only a very small amount of the product in injected. An additional antibiotic treatment should be considered for safety reasons. The sensitivity of the vaccine strain to antibiotics is listed above (under section “Special Warnings”). Adverse reactions After vaccination a diffusely swollen reaction, which may be warm or painful, develops at the injection site within 4 hours. The reaction is maximal at 2–3 days post vaccination with a maximum area of 3 cm by 8 cm. This swelling resolves completely within 3 weeks and normally has no effect on the appetite of the vaccinated animal and causes no apparent discomfort. The vaccine organism may establish a small suppurative inflammation locally at the injection site, leading to a disruption of the overlaying lip mucosa and subsequent discharge fluid and inflammatory cells. A slight cloudy discharge commonly occurs from the mucosal injection site at 3 or 4 days post vaccination. Slight enlargements, which may be transient painful, of the retropharyngeal and mandibular lymph nodes may occur for a few days after vaccination. In very rare cases an abscess may develop at the injection site or in the regional lymph nodes. Further, an increase in rectal temperature up to 2 °C may occur on the day of vaccination. In rare cases, inappetence, fever, shivering and diffuse oedematous swellings (e.g. facial oedema, swollen muzzle/upper lip) may be observed. In very rare cases depression may develop. The frequency of adverse reactions is defined using the following convention: -very common (more than 1 in 10 animals displaying adverse reactions during the course of one treatment) -common (more than 1 but less than 10 animals in 100 animals) -uncommon (more than 1 but less than 10 animals in 1,000 animals) -rare (more than 1 but less than 10 animals in 10,000 animals) -very rare (less than 1 animal in 10,000 animals, including isolated reports). Use during pregnancy, lactation or lay Do not use in pregnant or lactating mares. Interactions 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.
