INFORCETM 3, a new three-way respiratory cattle vaccine from Zoetis. The intranasal vaccine offers unprecedented respiratory protection with the highest level of disease prevention available against bovine respiratory syncytial virus (BRSV). INFORCE 3 also is labeled to aid in the prevention of infectious bovine rhinotracheitis (IBR) and parainfluenza type 3 (PI3).
In Pfizer Animal Health efficacy studies, all calves vaccinated with INFORCE 3 survived a severe BRSV challenge in which 95 percent of unvaccinated controls died.1,2 The studies also demonstrated that those calves vaccinated with INFORCE 3 showed fewer lung lesions and reduced viral shedding, indicating vaccinated calves are less likely to suffer from chronic BRSV disease and to transmit disease. Additionally, INFORCE 3 was shown to help prevent respiratory disease caused by IBR and PI3, and reduce IBR and PI3 viral shedding.3,4,5
General Directions:
General Directions: Aseptically rehydrate the freeze-dried vaccine with the sterile diluent provided, shake well, and administer 2 mL intranasally (IN) using a cannula or a syringe with the needle removed.
Primary Vaccination: Place the 2-mL dose in one nostril, or half the dose (1 mL) in each nostril. The presence of maternal antibody is known to interfere with the development of active immunity in cattle, and additional boosters will be required in most young animals.
For advice on revaccination frequency, consult your veterinarian or the manufacturer.
INFORCE 3 is available in four vial sizes: 1-dose x 25, 10-dose, 25-dose and 50-dose. It is safe for beef and dairy cattle of all ages, including pregnant females and newborn calves.
