SPECIAL WARNINGS FOR EACH TARGET SPECIES
This vaccine has been shown to reduce but not prevent viraemia in
cattle. The extent of this reduction
has been shown by epidemiological modelling studies to be likely to
reduce virus transmission to an
extent that can limit the spread of an outbreak in a vaccinated
population.
This vaccine has been tested
for safety in sheep and cattle. If used in other domestic and wild
ruminant species that are considered
at risk of infection, its use in these species should be undertaken
with care and it is advisable to test
the vaccine on a small number of animals prior to mass vaccination.
The level of efficacy for other
species may differ from that observed in sheep and cattle.
No information is available on the use of th
