ADVERSE REACTIONS
Transient local reactions in the form of a mild, local swelling at the
injection site post vaccination
(maximum 1 cm in diameter) that resolve spontaneously within 1 to 2
days and that are sometimes
associated with pain and mild depression were reported in very rare
cases. In very rare cases transient
hyperthermia may occur for up to 2 days.

As with any vaccine rare, occasional hypersensitivity reactions may
occur. If such a reaction occurs,
appropriate treatment should be administered without delay.
The frequency of adverse reactions is defined using the following
convention:
- very common (more than 1 in 10 animals displaying adverse
reaction(s) during the course of one

SPECIAL PRECAUTIONS FOR USE
Special precautions for use in animals
Vaccinate healthy animals only.

Vaccination may interfere with existing sero-epidemiological surveys.
However, since the IgM
response following vaccination is infrequent, a positive IgM-ELISA
test result is a strong indicator of
natural infection with West Nile virus. If infection is suspected as a
result of a positive IgM response,
additional testing would need to be conducted to conclusively
determine whether the animal was
infected or vaccinated.
No specific studies have been conducted to demonstrate absence of
interferences from maternally
derived antibodies on vaccine take. It is therefore recommended not to
vaccinate foals of less than 6
months of age.
Special precautions to be taken by the person administering the
