2 in 1 Tetanus and Strangles
Equivac 2 in 1 provides a more practical and economical means of vaccinating simultaneously for both tetanus and strangles than purchasing and administering two separate vaccines. Prevention of tetanus: A single dose of Equivac 2 in 1 given to an unimmunised horse at the time of wounding or surgery may not prevent tetanus. For short-term prevention of tetanus, Equivac TAT should also be used. See entry for Equivac TAT. Combined Active-Passive Protection: Equivac 2 in 1 can be administered simultaneously with Equivac TAT. A separate needle and syringe should be used for each product and administration should be on opposite sides of the body. If initiating a primary course the second dose of Equivac 2 in 1 should be administered 3 to 6 weeks later.
