Immunity is created within 1 month after revaccination and it persists at least one year.

Contraindications:

During vaccination and revaccination, it is necessary to avoid administration of the preparation to the same site (or close to it). Due to that, it is strictly contraindicated to administer the preparation during vaccination and revaccination to the same half of the body.

Performance of other immunoprophylactic procedures in the period of 10 days prior to the first vaccination until 20 days after the second vaccination or administration of oral preparations with antimycotic effects to calves and placing the vaccinated animals among cattle affected with trichophytosis are contraindicated. If it is necessary to treat calves with antibiotic preparations during vaccination against trichophytosis, it is possible to use penicillin, streptomycin, tylosine, tetracycline or sulphonamide without any risk of significant impairment of immunity against trichophytosis.

Adverse reactions:

A general anaphylactoid reaction can rarely occur, usually within two hours after the administration of the vaccine. Use anti-histamine drugs (adrenalin, calcium) immediately in case of an anaphylactoid reaction.
