Directions
Using aseptic technique, inject healthy pregnant cattle with 2 mL subcutaneously 3 months prior to calving. Repeat in 3 - 6 weeks following initial vaccination. For subsequent calvings, revaccinate with a single 2 mL dose 5 - 7 weeks before calving. For E. coli, protection was shown when the first dose was given as early as 6 months prior to calving.
Store at 2° to 7°C (35° to 45°F). Do not freeze. Shake well before use. Use entire contents when first opened. Do not vaccinate within 60 days before slaughter. Transient local reaction may occur at the injection site. If allergic response occurs, administer epinephrine.
