Precautions:
- Vaccinate healthy cats only.
- It is recommended that animals be treated for external and internal parasites at least 10 days prior to vaccination.
- The vaccine should be administered in accordance with standard aseptic procedures for vaccination.
- It is recommended that cats be checked for the presence of p27 circulating viral antigen, using the ELISA test, prior to vaccination as infection could render the vaccination ineffective.
