CLINICAL PARTICULARS 4.1 TARGET SPECIES Sheep (ewes). 4.2 INDICATIONS FOR USE, SPECIFYING THE TARGET SPECIES For the active immunisation of susceptible breeding female sheep to reduce the effects of infection by _Toxoplasma gondii_, namely early embryonic death, barrenness and abortion. Vaccination with Toxovax is known to protect for at least two lambing seasons. 4.3 CONTRAINDICATIONS Do not vaccinate animals less than 3 weeks before mating. Do not use during pregnancy. 4.4 SPECIAL WARNINGS FOR EACH TARGET SPECIES Toxoplasma is only one of the causes of abortion in sheep. Where abortion occurs in sheep which have been vaccinated with Toxovax then it is recommended that veterinary advice is sought immediately to clarify the likely cause. Revised: December 2021 Amended pages: 00902/2021 Page 2 of 6 Care should be taken in handling such abortions as susceptible humans may be at risk of infection. A good immune response is reliant on the reaction of an immunogenic agent and a fully competent immune system. Immunogenicity of the vaccine antigen will be reduced by poor storage or inappropriate administration. Immunocompetence of the animal may be compromised by a variety of factors including poor health, nutritional status, genetic factors, concurrent drug therapy and stress. Only healthy animals should be vaccinated. 4.5 SPECIAL PRECAUTIONS FOR USE i. Special precautions for use in animals None. ii. Special precautions to be taken by the person administering the product to animals Toxovax should not be handled by pregnant women Preberite celoten dokument
