Bovi-Shield Gold FP5 VL5

BOVI-SHIELD GOLD FP 5 VL5 is a modified-live vaccine that provides protection from bovine viral diarrhea (BVD) Types 1 and 2 viruses, infectious bovine rhinotracheitis (IBR) virus, campylobacteriosis and five serovars of leptospirosis. In addition, Bovi-Shield GOLD FP 5 VL5 protects against Campylobacteriosis (Vibriosis) caused by Campylobacter fetus. Bovi-Shield GOLD FP 5 VL5 is a combination vaccine covered under Zoetis' Fetal Protection (FP) Guarantee, which assures protection against IBR abortion and BVD (Types 1 and 2) persistently infected calves. A 12 month duration of immunity has been demonstrated against IBR-induced abortion and persistently infected calves caused by BVD Types 1 and 2.

This vaccine may be administered to pregnant cows, or calves nursing pregnant cows, provided cows were vaccinated, according to label directions, with any Bovi-Shield GOLD FP vaccine within the past 12 months. Failure to follow these directions can result in abortion. Protects against fetal infection caused by (BVD) Types 1 and 2 viruses. Bovi-Shield GOLD FP 5 VL5 contains a modified live virus (MLV) and requires reconstitution with the included liquid bacterin (Vibrio/Leptoferm-5) prior to administration. It should be administered intramuscularly in the neck region. Do not administer within 21 days before slaughter. Do not vaccinate calves under 3 months of age. Annual revaccination is recommended.

The freeze-dried vaccine is a preparation of modified live virus (MLV) strains of IBR, BVD (Types 1 and 2), PI3 and BRSV. The Campylobacter bacterin is an inactivated suspension of C. fetus. It is combined with inactivated Leptospira bacterin prepared from whole cultures of the agents indicated. The Campylobacter-Leptospira bacterin is supplied as a diluent for the IBR-BVD-PI3-BRSV vaccine.
