What does Strepvax II do?
Strepvax II is a concentrated aluminum hydroxide-adsorbed suspension of purified antigens derived from Streptococcus equi cells. It contains the antigenic protein of this antigen but is essentially free of the toxic and irritant substances present in whole cell bacterins.
Field reports suggest that certain hypersensitive individuals may demonstrate local or generalized reactions, sometimes severe, following exposure to streptococcal proteins. Field studies indicate that postvaccinal exercise will appreciably decrease the incidence and duration of reactions. Anaphylactoid reactions may occur following use. Antidote: Epinephrine.
