DESCRIPTION
Polyvak-TM vaccine against dermatomycosis in dogs. In appearance, it is a homogeneous liquid of light brown color with a thin sediment on the bottom, which disappears when shaken.
STRUCTURE
It includes 8 species and varieties of fungi from the genus Trichophyton and Microsporum.
PHARMACOLOGICAL PROPERTIES
Immunity in vaccinated animals occurs 20-30 days after the second vaccination and persists for at least 12 months from the first administration of the vaccine.
INDICATIONS
For preventive and therapeutic vaccination of dogs with dermatophytosis, the causative agents of which are fungi of the genera Trichophyton and Microsporum.
DOSAGE AND APPLICATION
Prophylactic and therapeutic purpose of the vaccine is administered intramuscularly in shinaberry muscles, neck, shoulder blade at the following doses: dogs aged 1-10 months – prophylactic — 0.3 ml; treatment — 0.5 ml; older than 10 months prophylaxis — 0.3 ml; medical — 0,6 ml. When using the vaccine for therapeutic purposes, double and triple administration of the vaccine is used at intervals of 10-14 days. The skin at the injection site is disinfected with 70 % ethyl alcohol or 0.5 % carbolic acid solution. Syringes and needles are sterilized by boiling before use, and a separate needle is used to vaccinate each animal. To accelerate the rejection of crusts, the affected areas of the skin are recommended to be treated with softening agents – fish oil, lanolin, vaseline, and other mineral or vegetable oils used in medicine and veterinary medicine. Before use, the vial or ampoule with the vaccine is shaken. Before applying the vaccine, all dog populations should be clinically examined. Given that the introduction of the vaccine to animals in the incubation period of the disease accelerates the clinical manifestation of dermatomycosis, it is necessary to carry out general vaccination in therapeutic doses in nurseries and other enterprises that are not affected by dermatomycosis. In weak, emaciated dogs with metabolic disorders and affected by ectoparasites, the preventive and therapeutic effectiveness of the vaccine is reduced. Regrouping and transportation of animals in dermatomycosis-free kennels and other enterprises is allowed without restrictions 14 days after vaccination. All newly received animals are vaccinated during their quarantine period. After the end of vaccinations, an act is drawn up indicating the date, the number of immunized animals, the epizootic state of the farm, the number of the vaccine series, the expiration date and date of manufacture, the manufacturer, as well as the persons who carried out the vaccination. The act also indicates the amount of biological product and disinfectant used for vaccination.

When vaccinating animals that are in the incubation period of the disease, vaccination accelerates the manifestation of the clinical picture of dermatomycosis with the appearance of multiple foci of a superficial nature.
