Vanguard® Plus 5, 25 x 1 ml tray

Description: Vanguard® Plus 5 contains attenuated strains of CD virus, CAV-2, CPI virus, and CPV propagated on an established canine cell line. The CPV fraction is high titer (107.0 TCID50/dose) and was attenuated by low passage (35 passes from the canine isolate with a maximum of 2 additional passes allowed for production) on the canine cell line which gives it the immunogenic properties capable of overriding maternal antibody interference. Some puppies in the field may have higher levels of maternal antibodies than those evaluated in our pivotal efficacy study. Vanguard® Plus 5 is packaged in freeze-dried form with inert gas in place of vacuum.
Contains penicillin and streptomycin as preservatives.
Indications: Vanguard® Plus 5 is for vaccination of healthy dogs 6 weeks of age or older as an aid in preventing canine distemper caused by canine distemper (CD) virus, infectious canine hepatitis (ICH) caused by canine adenovirus type 1 (CAV-1), respiratory disease caused by canine adenovirus type 2 (CAV-2), canine parainfluenza caused by canine parainfluenza (CPI) virus, and canine parvoviral enteritis caused by canine parvovirus (CPV).
