For use in calves vaccinated at four weeks of age, or older, as an aid in the prevention of hardjo-bovis kidney colonization, and as an aid in preventing urinary shedding and reproductive tract infection for 12 months. Produced from noncytopathic (BVD Type 1 and BVD Type 2) and cytopathic (BVD Type 1) isolates. Vaccinated animals subsequently exposed to L. borgpetersenii serovar hardjo (type hardjo-bovis) have been shown to clear renal infections within 8 weeks of exposure.
The duration of immunity for BVD Type 2 is at least 11 months4 and the duration of immunity for L. hardjo-bovis is at least 12 months2. Vira Shield has been shown to provide protection from IBR abortions up to 8 months post vaccination5.
