SPECIAL PRECAUTIONS FOR USE
Special precautions for use in animals

of age. However, the vaccine
has also been shown to be safe in a field study including animals of 2
months of age.

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.
