For Pregnant Mares: Aseptically administer one 2mL dose
intramuscularly during 5th, 7th and 9th month
of pregnancy. Revaccinate at 5th, 7th and 9th
month of pregnancy.
For young Horses:
Aseptically administer one 2mL dose intramuscularly followed by a second 2mL
dose 3 to 4 weeks later. Revaccinate with a single 2mL dose 6 month after the
second primary dose and annually thereafter. To insure proper placement and
retention of the vaccine, inject deep into the heavy muscles of the hindquarter.
Mild exercise to promote absorption is recommended for one week after injection.
Maiden and barren mares kept
in barn-or pasture-contact with vaccinated mares should be vaccinated on the
same schedule as the pregnant mares with which they are in contact. Mares more
than five months pregnant at the time of arrival on a farm should be vaccinated
upon arrival and at two-month intervals until foaling.
Pregnant mares that are in
contact with mares that have aborted equine herpesvirus 1 infected fetuses
should be vaccinated. Such vaccination may provide immunity for those mares in
the group, which are not incubating an abortigenic infection at the time of
vaccination.
