Dosage and administration
Dose: 1 ml by intramuscular administration in horses.
Vaccination schedule (see table)
Primary vaccination course
Administer one dose (1ml) by intramuscular injection according to the following schedule:
Primary vaccination course: first injection from 6 months of age, second injection 4 weeks later.
Revaccination (see Vaccination schedule table)
Influenza
The first revaccination (third dose) against equine influenza is given 5 months after the primary vaccination course. This revaccination results in immunity to equine influenza lasting at least 12 months.
The second revaccination is given 12 months after the first revaccination.
The alternate use, at 12 months interval, of a suitable vaccine against equine influenza, containing the strains A/equi 1/Prague 56, A/equi 2/Newmarket 1/93 and A/equi 2/Newmarket 2/93, is recommended to maintain immunity levels for the influenza component (see Vaccination schedule table).
Tetanus
The first revaccination is given not later than 17 months after the primary vaccination course. Thereafter a maximum interval of two years is recommended (see Vaccination schedule table).

In case of increased infection risk or insufficient colostrum intake, an additional initial injection can be given at the age of 4 months followed by the full vaccination programme (Primary vaccination course at 6 months of age and 4 weeks later).
Concurrent active and passive immunisation (emergency vaccination)
The vaccine can be used together with Tetanus-Serum from Intervet for treatment of injured horses that have not been immunised against tetanus. In that case, the first dose (V1) of vaccine can be given concurrently with the appropriate prophylactic dose of Tetanus-Serum from Intervet at a separate injection site, using separate syringes and needles. This will lead to a passive protection against tetanus for at least 21 days after concurrent administration. The second dose of the vaccine (V2) should be administered 4 weeks later. A third vaccination with Equilis Prequenza Te should be repeated at least four weeks later. Concurrent use of Equilis Prequenza Te and Tetanus-Serum from Intervet may reduce active immunity against tetanus compared with horses vaccinated with Equilis Prequenza Te in the absence of tetanus antitoxin serum.
Allow the vaccine to reach room temperature (15-25°C) before use.
Can be used during pregnancy and lactation.
