MEFLUVAC™ H5 PLUS 8 is an inactivated trivalent vaccine for immunization against Highly Pathogenic Avian Influenza (HPAI) H5 subtypes.
Chickens.
Highly pathogenic avian influenza (HPAI) is an extremely contagious, multi-organ systemic disease leading to high mortality in poultry.1 The disease is caused by some H5 and H7 subtypes of type A influenza virus, family Orthomyxoviridae.1 These HPAI viruses can develop from certain LPAI viruses, usually while they are circulating in poultry flocks.2
HPAI viruses can cause mortality in 90-100% of the flock, and trigger epidemics that may spread rapidly, devastate the poultry industry and result in severe trade restrictions.2 Use MEFLUVAC™ H5 PLUS 8 to help combat HPAI in your poultry operation.
For booster vaccination and protection of commercial poultry against Highly Pathogenic Avian Influenza H5N1 and H5N8 subtypes.
Birds can be vaccinated from seven days of age onwards, as per advice from your poultry veterinarian.
Zero days.
The vaccine dose (0.5 mL/bird) should be administered subcutaneously in the lower part of the neck or intramuscularly in the thigh or breast muscles.
Before use, the vaccine should be shaken well to ensure proper mixing. Sterile injection equipment should be used to avoid contamination.
MEFLUVAC™ H5 PLUS 8 is packed and presented in 500 mL (1000 doses) polyethylene terephthalate (PET) bottles.
