From literature, it is known that a very low number of horses may
develop purpura haemorrhagica if
they are vaccinated shortly after infection. Purpura haemorrhagica has
not been observed in any of the
safety studies performed during development of Equilis StrepE. As the
incidence of purpura
haemorrhagica is very low, its occurrence cannot be ruled out
completely.
In the challenge studies performed by the company, insufficient
protection was seen in approximately
one quarter of horses vaccinated with the recommended dose.
Do not use antibiotics within one week after vaccination.
The vaccine strain is sensitive to penicill
