The
use
of
immunosuppressant
drugs
or
procedures
within
one
month
of
vaccination is contra-indicated.
4.4
SPECIAL WARNINGS FOR EACH TARGET SPECIES
If an anaphylactic reaction occurs, institute treatment according to
the clinical signs
using adrenaline or other appropriate medication.
Vaccination is of no known clinical value in cats with pre-existing
FeLV infection, nor
will it change the natural course of the disease.
The effect of maternally derived antibodies (MDA) on the response to
vaccination is
not known, but on the basis of published data and field use it is
expected that the
levels of MDA that will be present at 9 weeks of age will not
interfere with the
response to vaccination.
