Reduced feed intake and listlessness may occur in approximately 10% of the animals on the day of vaccination, but return to normal within 1-3 days. A transient swelling and redness at the injection site may be observed in approximately 5% of the animals. The diameter of the swelling is in general below 5 cm, but in some cases a larger swelling may occur. Swelling and redness at the injection site may occasionally last for at least 14 days. After administration of an overdose no effects other than those observed and mentioned above have been observed.
