Bovi-Shield Gold BVD Vaccine

BVD Types 1 & 2 (MLV)

Bovi-Shield GOLD BVD is a modified-live virus (MLV) vaccine for healthy cattle that helps protect against respiratory disease and viremia caused by bovine viral diarrhea (BVD) Types 1 and 2, including Type 1b. The freeze-dried vaccine is reconstituted with the sterile diluent provided and administered as a single 2 mL dose. When administered subcutaneously (SQ), it provides at least 9 months of demonstrated immunity.

Features:

• Protects against BVD Types 1 and 2, including Type 1b.
• Provides at least 9 months of demonstrated immunity when administered SQ.
• Recommended for use alongside Inforce 3 Intranasal Vaccine (Item N2-I1).

Protects Against:

• Bovine Viral Diarrhea (BVD) Type 1, including Type 1b.
• Bovine Viral Diarrhea (BVD) Type 2.

Directions:

• Aseptically rehydrate the freeze-dried vaccine with the sterile diluent provided and mix thoroughly.
• Administer SQ in the neck region or intramuscularly (IM).
• Use sterile syringes and needles. Avoid chemical sterilants, as disinfectant residue may inactivate the vaccine.

Dosage & Vaccination Schedule:

• Primary vaccination: Administer one 2 mL dose SQ or IM.
• Calves under 6 months: Revaccinate after 6 months of age or at weaning because maternal antibodies may interfere with active immunity.
