1 mL injected intra-muscularly. • For primary immunisation of horses against strangles, horses 3 months of age or older should be given 3 doses of vaccine at intervals no less than 2 weeks apart.

Equivac® S may be used for strangles vaccination where tetanus inclusion is not warranted

Further boosters for tetanus are recommended by the Equine Infectious Diseases Advisory Board every 12 months for maximal protection against tetanus infection
