INDICATIONS: Bovi-Shield GOLD BVD is for vaccination of healthy cattle to prevent viremia caused by bovine virus diarrhea (BVD) virus Types 1 and 2, and as an aid in preventing respiratory disease caused by (BVD) Types 1 and 2 viruses. When administered subcutaneously, duration of immunity has been demonstrated to be at least 9 months. Bovi-Shield GOLD BVD may be administered to pregnant cattle provided they were vaccinated, according to label directions, with any Bovi-Shield GOLD FP� or PregGuard� GOLD FP vaccine within the past 12 months. Bovi-Shield GOLD BVD may also be administered to calves nursing pregnant cows provided their dams were vaccinated within the past 12 months as described above.
