- For intramuscular or intradermal use:
- Intramuscular route: Vaccination is performed in the neck area.
- Intradermal route:
- In pigs from 4 weeks of age, the vaccine is administered in the neck region;
- In breeding females, the vaccine can be administered in the neck region, perineal area, or udder area.
- Required equipment:
An intradermal (ID) device provided by the marketing authorization holder or any other suitable needle-free device capable of delivering a 0.2 ml dose (with an injection stream diameter of 0.25–0.30 mm and a maximum injection force of 0.9–1.3 N) is used.
- Precautions:
Aseptic injection techniques must be strictly followed to prevent contamination during vaccine administration.
- Doses and administration methods:
Piglets from 4 weeks of age:
- 2 ml via intramuscular injection or 0.2 ml via intradermal administration.
Breeding females:
- 2 ml via intramuscular injection or 0.2 ml via intradermal administration.
- A single vaccination is performed in each reproductive cycle to protect the subsequent gestation.
- For gilts: 4 weeks before mating, administer one injection of the reconstituted vaccine to each animal.
- For sows: Administer one injection of the reconstituted vaccine to each animal:
- 2 weeks before each mating, or
- In weeks 8–9 of each gestation (approximately 60 days after mating), or
- Vaccinate sows every 4 months.
Caution: Sows uncontaminated with PRRSV or unvaccinated should not be vaccinated during gestation.
Recommendations for correct administration:
Reconstitute the vaccine using the appropriate solvent:

If the solvent has been stored under refrigeration, allow the solvent to reach a temperature between 15 °C and 25 °C before reconstituting the lyophilized pellet.
Remove the aluminum cap from the solvent vial and aspirate to extract the contents of the vial. Then inject this amount of solvent into the vial containing the lyophilized vaccine. Shake the vial until the lyophilized pellet is completely dissolved. After the vial containing the remaining solvent.
Shake well before use. The reconstituted vaccine is a homogeneous reddish solution. Avoid contamination during reconstitution and use. For administration, use only sterile needles and syringes.
For simultaneous administration with ERYSENG PARVO in breeding females starting from 6 months of age, the UNISTRAIN PRRS product combined with ERYSENG PARVO should only be administered if the animals have been vaccinated prior to mating.
The following instructions must be followed: the contents of a single vial of UNISTRAIN PRRS must be combined with the contents of a single vial of ERYSENG PARVO, as described for combining with solvent. Administer a single intramuscular dose (2 ml) of the combined vaccine within a maximum of 2 hours from mixing.
UNISTRAIN PRRS:
- 10 doses
- 25 doses
- 50 doses
ERYSENG PARVO:
- 10 doses (20 ml)
- 25 doses (50 ml)
- 50 doses (100 ml)
