Adverse Reactions
Common adverse reactions include localized swelling at the injection site, which may reach up to 6 cm in sheep and 15 cm in cattle; occasionally, reactions of up to 25 cm diameter may be seen in cattle. Most local reactions resolve within 3–6 weeks in sheep and in less than 10 weeks in cattle, but may persist longer in a minority of animals. An abscess may develop in some animals. Vaccination may give rise to reactions in the underlying tissues at the injection site. Skin discolouration at the injection site (which returns to normal as the local reaction resolved) may occur. Localized pain at the injection site for 1–2 days post first vaccination may occur.
