Fort Dodge Animal Health introduces West Nile combination vaccines to protect horses against West Nile Virus (WNV), and all strains of encephalomyelitis. The U.S. Department of Agriculture recently approved the line of West Nile-Innovator/Encephalomyelitis combination vaccines.Supporting the potential need for a new vaccine, health agencies reported record number of horses infected with EEE in 2003. In some areas, the number of cases has risen nearly 8,000 percent compared to a year ago.Available through licensed veterinarians, West Nile-Innovator vaccines are formulated in four combinations to protect against WNV, Eastern equine encephalomyelitis (EEE), Western equine encephalomyelitis (WEE), and Venezuelan equine encephalomyelitis (VEE).The vaccines are ready to use, with no reconstitution required, and are adjuvanted with MetaStimTM, designed to improve vaccine performance, while minimizing potential for injection-site reactions.
