POTOMACGUARD® Fort Dodge Ehrlichia Risticii Bacterin For intramuscular vaccination of healthy horses as an aid in the prevention of Potomac Horse Fever. COMPOSITION: PotomacGuard consists of inactivated Ehrlichia risticii organisms. The MetaStim® adjuvant is added to enhance the immune response and to promote the proper rate of vaccine absorption following inoculation. DOSAGE AND ADMINISTRATION: Horses inject one 1 mL dose intramuscularly using aseptic technique. Administer a second 1 mL dose 3 to 4 weeks after the first dose. Revaccinate annually using one 1 mL dose. To insure proper placement of the vaccine inject deep into the heavy muscles of the hindquarter. Mild daily exercise to promote absorption is recommended for one week after injection. CAUTION: Store in dark at 2° to 7°C (35° to 45°F). AVOID FREEZING. SHAKE WELL. When used according to instructions it is unusual for reactions to appear other than those expected with any vaccination of horses; for example occasional temporary local swelling. Do not vaccinate within 21 days before slaughter. In case of anaphylactoid reaction administer epinephrine. Thimerosal formalin neomycin polymyxin B and amphotericin B added as preservatives.
