Rispoval IBR-Marker inactivated

1. IBR abortion protection

Only Rispoval IBR vaccines provide IBR abortion protection. To prevent IBR abortions use:

1. A single intramuscular dose of Rispoval IBR-Marker live followed 6 months later by
   a single dose booster using Rispoval IBR-Marker inactivated             

2. Two intramuscular doses of Rispoval IBR-Marker live 3-5 weeks apart

Thereafter, single dose booster vaccinations should be administered

1. Every 12 months (if using Rispoval IBR-Marker inactivated)

2. Every 6 months (if using Rispoval IBR-Marker live)

No other IBR vaccines are licensed for IBR abortion protection.

2. Annual IBR booster

A single dose of Rispoval IBR Marker live requires a single dose booster vaccination 6 months later with either:

1. Rispoval IBR-Marker live to provide 6 months of protection

2. Rispoval IBR-Marker inactivated to provide 12 months of protection

Thereafter, single dose booster vaccinations should be administered:

1. Every 6 months (if using Rispoval IBR-Marker live) or

2. Every 12 months (if using Rispoval IBR-Marker inactivated)

3. Animals at immediate risk of IBR

Rispoval IBR-Marker live is used as a single dose intramuscular injection in cattle over 3 months of age, to provide 6 months duration of immunity. Cattle at immediate risk, e.g. in the face of an outbreak, should receive a single dose of Rispoval IBR-Marker live intranasally, followed by a single dose of Rispoval IBR-Marker live intramuscularly 3-5 weeks later.

No other IBR vaccines are licensed for use in cattle at immediate risk of IBR.

Rispoval IBR-Marker inactivated is an inactivated (dead) IBR vaccine from Zoetis. This vaccine can be used in conjunction with Rispoval IBR-Marker live to provide 12 months duration of immunity.

There are a number of different vaccination programme options when using Rispoval IBR Vaccines. (see below for further details). In summary, both Rispoval IBR-live and Rispoval IBR-inactivated provide 6 months protection against IBR, but when the two vaccines are used in combination, it is possible to vaccinate every 12 months; i.e. use Rispoval IBR-Marker live (6 months protection) followed by Rispoval IBR-Marker inactivated (12 months protection) and use Rispoval IBR-Marker inactivated every 12 months thereafter.
