Glanvac Eryvac SafeShot 1ml Vaccinator

The Benefits

• Fixed 1mL dose specifically for Zoetis ultra filtrated vaccines (GlanEry, Glanvac, Eryvac, Ultravac 5in1).
• The 1ml SafeShot vaccinator improves the welfare of the sheep through protecting the needle and tenting the skin during vaccination.
• The shrouded needle reduces the risk of accidental human injection without compromising efficiency.

What does it mean for me?

• Easy to use, service and maintain.
• Delivering a highly accurate fixed 1mL dose.
• Needle shroud protects the needle and keeps it cleaner (change every 50 doses or sooner if damaged).
• Increased safety when administering 1ml subcutaneous vaccine with a shrouded vaccinator.
• When delivered at a 450 angle, the skin is tented by the shroud for easy subcutaneous delivery that will minimise site reactions.

The importance of vaccination

• Vaccination is essential to the health the lamb from early life, through marking recovery, weaning and set the lamb up for life.
• When the ewe is vaccinated 4 weeks pre-lambing the maternal antibodies (colostrum) is produced in the udder. When consumed by the lamb in the first 48hrs after birth these specific maternal antibodies protect the lamb from the corresponding diseases for 6-10 weeks. This is essential to protect the lamb from death and illness until their own immune system becomes into full activity.
• Lambing marking and weaning are high risk times for weeks afterwards for the lamb to contract an illness, experience reduced production, and death. Correct vaccination according to product label is imperative for effective immunity.

Two Doses of Vaccine Plus Boosters are Essential

• Maternal antibodies† in the colostrum can interfere with the vaccine, so it's important not to give some vaccines too early in life, until the maternal antibody level have dropped.
• The first dose of vaccine primes the immune system, but only provides a small amount of short-term protection. In some animals, there may be no protection at all from this dose.
• It's not until the animal is given the second dose of vaccine that the immune system is capable of providing protection against the disease. In most cases, this protection lasts 12 months.
• An annual booster dose is required to ensure the animal remains protected for another 12 months. Without an annual booster dose the animal will be at risk of disease as the antibody levels will fall below the protective level.
• This is the level of immunity required by the animal to provide protection against infection or disease.

The application of any vaccine is important as it has an impact on:

• The effectiveness of the vaccine - different vaccines have specific requirements of placement on the animal
• The carcass quality

• vaccines have various adjuvants which act differently in the body
• injection site injury can cause extensive carcass trimming at the abattoir
• hide damage can also occur

• Animal welfare - by stimulating the immune system of an animal through vaccination incorrect use may cause serious side effects
• Hygiene - poor hygiene can cause sickness and death through secondary bacterial infections and/or spread of viruses
