Equivac HeV Hendra Vaccine is for the immunisation of horses against the deadly Hendra virus.
This potentially deadly virus can spread from horses to humans. Since there are no known treatments for the disease caused by the Hendra virus, vaccination is the single most effective way to reduce the risk of the virus transferring from bats to horses and from horses to humans.
Administration: Given intramuscularly after clipping the hair and disinfecting the skin. A rest day is recommended after vaccination. The Hendra vaccine can be given to horses as young as 4 months of age and requires two doses between three and six weeks apart, an initial 6-month booster followed by annual boosters thereafter.
A register is maintained by Zoetis to look up the Hendra vaccination status of horses across Australia (www.health4horses.com.au). Please note that the vaccination must be performed by a veterinarian for this register to reflect your horse’s vaccination status.
