Description: Vanguard Plus 5/CV is a freeze-dried preparation of attenuated strains of CD virus CAV-2 CPI virus and CPV plus a liquid preparation of inactivated CCV with an adjuvant. The CPV fraction is high titer (>107.0 TCID50/dose) and was attenuated by low passage (35 passes from the canine isolate with a maximum of 2 additional passes allowed for production) on the canine cell line which gives it the immunogenic properties capable of overriding maternal antibody interference. Some puppies in the field may have higher levels of maternal antibodies than those evaluated in our pivotal efficacy study. All viruses were propagated on established cell lines. The liquid component is used to rehydrate the freeze-dried component which is packaged with inert gas in place of vacuum.
Contains penicillin and streptomycin as preservatives.
Indications: Vanguard Plus 5/CV is for vaccination of healthy dogs 6 weeks of age or older as an aid in preventing canine distemper caused by canine distemper (CD) virus infectious canine hepatitis (ICH) caused by canine adenovirus type 1 (CAV-1) respiratory disease caused by canine adenovirus type 2 (CAV-2) canine parainfluenza caused by canine parainfluenza (CPI) virus and enteritis caused by canine coronavirus (CCV) and canine parvovirus (CPV).
