SPECIAL WARNINGS FOR EACH TARGET SPECIES
Vaccinate healthy animals only.
The vaccine contains live coccidian oocysts and is dependent upon
replication of the
vaccine strains within the chickens for building up of immunity. It is
common to find
oocysts in the gastro-intestinal tract of vaccinated birds from 1–3
weeks or more after

vaccination. These oocysts are most likely to be vaccinal oocysts
which recycle in the
birds via the litter. Recycling of oocysts is necessary for the
development of immunity
and for continued protection.
Since the protection against coccidial infection following vaccination
is enhanced by
natural challenge, access to any therapeutic agents having
anti-coccidial activity at
any time following vaccination can adversely affect the development of
immunity.
This is important throughout the life of the chicken.
