    • Aids in preventing two of the most prevalent forms of viral scours.
    • Oral vaccination of calves with a single 3 mL dose should occur as soon as possible after birth and before ingestion of colostrum.
    • Cows should receive two IM 3 mL doses administered 3-6 weeks apart during late pregnancy. Ideally, the second dose should be administered within 30 days prior to calving. Annual revaccination of cows with two doses during each subsequent pregnancy.
