How often are horses to be vaccinated with Prestige Prodigy?

In pregnant mares, give at the 5th, 7th, and 9th months of gestation. Other equine horses at risk of EHV-1 infection should be given a veterinarian-recommended schedule, which normally requires biennial boosters.

Can Prestige Prodigy be given with other equine vaccines?

Absolutely! Prestige Prodigy may be administered in conjunction with core vaccines such as Tetanus, Influenza, West Nile Virus, and EEE/WEE vaccines as part of a comprehensive equine health regimen. The best vaccination program should always be obtained from a veterinarian.

Directions for Use:

For pregnant mares administer a 2 mL dose intramuscularly in the 5th, 7th, and 9th months of pregnancy. Three doses are essential for primary immunization. Maiden and barren mares housed or pastured with pregnant mares should be vaccinated on the same schedule. For primary vaccination against respiratory disease administer three 2 mL doses intramuscularly at 4 to 6 week intervals. Historically, annual revaccination with this product has been recommended. The need for this booster has not been established. For advice on revaccination frequency, consult your veterinarian.
