Q2: What is the minimum age to start Nobivac Feline-BB?

Ans: Nobivac Feline-BB is indicated for kittens and cats beginning at 4 weeks of age. Early vaccination supports protection planning in shelters, boarding facilities, foster care, and other multi-cat settings where the risk of respiratory exposure may be higher.

Ans: Nobivac Feline-BB is administered intranasally after reconstitution with sterile diluent. The labeled dose is 0.2 mL, delivered into one nostril, supporting local mucosal immunity in the upper respiratory tract without the need for injection.

Q4: How quickly does Nobivac Feline-BB begin to work?

Ans: Onset of immunity for Nobivac Feline-BB can occur within 72 hours after vaccination. This rapid onset supports respiratory protection planning in cats that may be entering boarding facilities, shelters, or other group environments with a higher risk of exposure.

Q5: What is the active ingredient in Nobivac Feline-BB?

Ans: The active component is a live avirulent culture of Bordetella bronchiseptica. This live vaccine approach is designed to stimulate local immune response in the respiratory tract when administered intranasally.

Q6: Does Nobivac Feline-BB contain adjuvants?

Ans: Nobivac Feline-BB is described as non-adjuvanted, meaning the formulation does not include added adjuvants. This supports the use of intranasal administration, focusing on the local respiratory immune response against Bordetella bronchiseptica.

Q7: Are there side effects to watch for after vaccination?

Ans: Some cats may experience mild, temporary respiratory signs after intranasal vaccination, such as sneezing or nasal discharge. Cats should be monitored after administration, and a veterinarian should be consulted if signs persist or become severe.

Q8: Are there any precautions to consider when using antibiotics and this vaccine?

Ans: Yes. Antibiotic therapy administered near the time of vaccination may reduce the vaccine's effectiveness, as it utilizes a live bacterial culture. Follow veterinary guidance on timing and avoid vaccinating during antibiotic treatment unless directed by a veterinarian.

Q9: Can vaccinated cats shed the vaccine strain?

Ans: Yes. Vaccinated cats may shed the vaccine strain for a period after vaccination. This is a known consideration for live intranasal vaccines, especially in multi-cat environments or where immune-compromised animals may be present.

Q10: Why does this product require express shipping?
