The presence of maternal antibodies is known to interfere with the development of active immunity in cats and additional boosters will be required in most young animals. Historically, annual revaccination has been recommended for this product. The need for this booster has not been established. For more information on revaccination frequency, in general or in the face of maternal antibody, consult your veterinarian or the manufacturer.

Precautions

● Store at 2° - 8°C (35°-46°F).

● Do not freeze.

● Use new, non-chemically sterilized needles and syringes.

● Do not mix with other products, except as specified on the label.

● Inactivate unused contents before disposal.

● In case of human exposure, contact a physician.

Warnings

● Contains gentamicin and amphotericin B as preservatives.

● Some reports suggest that in cats, the administration of certain veterinary biologicals may induce the development of injection-site fibrosarcomas.

● Do not vaccinate pregnant cats.

● The use of a biological product may produce anaphylaxis and/or other inflammatory immune-mediated hypersensitivity reactions. Antidote: Epinephrine, corticosteroids, and antihistamines may all be indicated depending on the nature and severity of the reaction.

● It is important to realize that certain conditions and events may cause some cats to be unable to develop or maintain an adequate immune response following FeLV vaccination. Prior exposure to the disease, or disease latency, are conditions in which vaccination may not alter the course of the disease. Therefore, diagnostic testing of all cats for FeLV antigen prior to vaccination is recommended. Also, vaccination with this product will not offer cross-protection against feline immunodeficiency virus (FIV), another feline retrovirus. It is important to advise the cat owner of these situations prior to vaccination.
