Dosage and Administration

Oral - Vaccination Method

Primary Vaccination: 0.2ml per fish

Booster Vaccination: 0.1ml per fish. The dose should be fed continuously over 10 days.

Preparation of vaccine-coated feed pellets: Bring the vaccine to room temperature (20C) for 1 hour before use to allow the vaccine to become more liquid. If any separation occurs, shake the bottle vigorously until the separated layers are completely dispersed. Turn the feed pellets in a mixer, e.g. a concrete mixer, and slowly pour or spray the vaccine directly onto the pellets. If a sprayer is used, it should be set to deliver a coarse spray without risk of aerosol particle generation and the spray container must be completely emptied during the mixing operation. Mix the pellets for at least 2 minutes after all the vaccine has been added. Keep the prepared feed for 1 hour before feeding, to allow the vaccine to impregnate the pellets completely.

Withdrawal time: Zero days.**
**Approved species, claims and withdrawal times may vary from country to country. Please check your local package insert or contact your local Schering-Plough Animal Health representative for more details.
