DOSAGE, ROUTE AND METHOD OF ADMINISTRATION
Vaccination Schedule
Shake the liquid Colombovac PMV vial before withdrawing all of the contents. Inject all of
this liquid vaccine into one vial containing the freeze dried pellet of Colombovac Pox
vaccine. Shake again before use.
Use within 2 hours of reconstitution.
One dose (0.2 ml) per pigeon. The vaccine has to be administered by subcutaneous injection
dorsally in the neck region (in the direction of the back).
Primary vaccination:
Racing Pigeons
All birds in the loft should be given a vaccination annually from the early New Year not less
than 21 days before the beginning of the racing season.
Birds may be vaccinated with Colombovac PMV/Pox from 6 weeks of age when a single
injection will provide immunity for one year for paramyxovirus and throughout the greatest
season for risk for pox, the spring and summer months when vaccinated in the first quarter of
the year. Following vaccination, avoid contact with birds from other lofts for at least 21 days
to allow immunity to develop.
All late-hatched young pigeons should be given one vaccination from 6 weeks of age and not
mixed with birds from other lofts for at least 21 days.
Show Pigeons
All birds on the premises should be given one vaccination annually not less than 21 days
before the beginning of the show season.
Birds may be vaccinated with Colombovac PMV/Pox for 6 weeks of age when a single
injection will provide immunity for one year for paramyxovirus and throughout the greatest
season for risk for pox, the spring and summer months when vaccinated in the first quarter of
the year. Following vaccination, avoid contact with birds from other lofts for at least 21 days
to allow immunity to develop.
Booster vaccination:
Racing Pigeons
All adult birds in the loft should be given a single booster vaccination annually from the early
New Year. Where the annual booster vaccination may interfere with the training or racing
programme, it may be brought forward prior to the commencement of each racing season.

SPECIAL WARNINGS
Special precautions for use in animals
In cases of hypersensitivity reactions treat immediately with glucocorticoid intravenously or
adrenaline intramuscularly.
Maternally-derived antibody (MDA) can interfere with the development of active immunity.
Where it is likely that recent field infection or vaccination of the parent flock has stimulated a
high antibody titre and consequently a high level of MDA, the timing of the vaccination
programme should be planned accordingly.
As vaccination can be disruptive during the breeding season, it is advised that birds are not
vaccinated from pairing up until production of the first egg.
No information is available on the safety and efficacy from the concurrent use of this vaccine
with any other. It is therefore recommended that no other vaccines should be administered
with 14 days before or after vaccination with the product.
Any unused veterinary medicinal product or waste materials derived from such veterinary medicinal products
should be disposed of in accordance with local requirements.
