Zoetis Horse Vaccination Kit (5-Way + WNV)

The Zoetis Horse Vaccination Kit (5-Way + WNV) is a comprehensive veterinary biological package engineered to provide broad-spectrum active immunization for horses and equines against five major viral and bacterial pathogens, plus West Nile Virus. By combining core and risk-based disease protection within a convenient bundled protocol, this professional-grade kit delivers targeted systemic prophylaxis against neurological, respiratory, and toxigenic threats for performance horses, breeding stock, and stable herds operating under professional veterinary management. Because immunological protection depends on precise primary series scheduling and proper handling, the administration of this kit requires strict adherence to professional veterinary protocols and cold-chain maintenance.

What Is Included in the Kit?

The Zoetis Horse Vaccination Kit is a specialized veterinary biological bundle formulated for parenteral administration under professional clinical supervision.

Active Components and Formulation

• Vaccine Fractions: Contains chemically inactivated viral fractions, bacterial toxoids, and purified antigens covering Eastern Encephalomyelitis Virus (EEE), Western Encephalomyelitis Virus (WEE), Tetanus Toxoid (Clostridium tetani), Equine Influenza Virus, Equine Herpesvirus Types 1 and 4 (EHV-1/4), and West Nile Virus (WNV), combined with a safe adjuvant to maximize immune stimulation.

• Presentation: Supplied as multi-dose or single-dose sterile liquid suspension vials packaged together to facilitate complete annual immunization schedules.

What Is It Used For?

Primary Veterinary Indications

• Comprehensive Disease Prophylaxis: Routinely utilized by equine veterinarians and stable managers to protect horses against a robust spectrum of infectious agents in a single coordinated vaccination protocol.

• Encephalomyelitis Protection: Guards equines against the debilitating and frequently fatal neurological damage caused by mosquito-borne Eastern and Western Encephalomyelitis viruses.

• Tetanus Prevention: Protects against fatal neurotoxin poisoning resulting from Clostridium tetani entering puncture wounds, lacerations, or surgical sites.

• Respiratory Disease Control: Mitigates clinical signs and viral shedding associated with Equine Influenza and Equine Herpesvirus (Rhinopneumonitis, including abortion risk mitigation in broodmares).

• West Nile Virus Defense: Defends equines against West Nile Virus neuroinvasive disease transmitted by infected mosquitoes.

Administration and Dosage Considerations

Route and Dosing

• Route of Administration: Administered exclusively via intramuscular (I.M.) injection—typically into the deep muscles of the neck—utilizing strict aseptic technique and sterile needles.

• Primary Vaccination Series: Unvaccinated horses typically require a series of two initial doses administered at intervals of 3 to 4 weeks for primary immunization, followed by annual boosters.

• Veterinary Guidance: Consult your attending veterinarian to establish an optimized vaccination schedule tailored to regional disease pressures, seasonal exposure risks, and individual stable management practices.

Important Safety Information

• Contraindications: Do not vaccinate animals showing signs of acute febrile illness, severe stress, or those with a known history of hypersensitivity reactions to previous vaccinations or vaccine adjuvants.

• Side Effects and Precautions: Mild transient lethargy, decreased appetite, localized swelling, or slight soreness at the injection site can occasionally occur within 24 to 48 hours following injection. Systemic allergic reactions (anaphylaxis) are rare but require immediate veterinary intervention (epinephrine and supportive care).

• Competition Regulations: Trainers and exhibitors should schedule vaccinations at least 7 to 14 days prior to competitions or shipping to allow full immune response development and resolve any temporary post-vaccination fatigue or stiffness.

• Professional Guidance: Biological products must be handled and administered under the direct oversight of a licensed animal health professional.

Storage and Handling

• Store refrigerated at temperatures between 2°C and 8°C (35°F to 46°F). Do not freeze. Freezing destroys the adjuvant structure and ruins vaccine efficacy.

• Protect from direct sunlight and excessive heat during transport and storage, utilizing validated cold-pack shipping containers.

• Agitate well immediately prior to drawing up or administering the dose.

• Keep securely out of reach of children, unauthorized individuals, and animals at all times.
