May 4, 2010

Intervet Schering-Plough has announced an urgent recall of all serial numbers of PreveNile® West Nile Virus vaccine for horses due to an increased number of adverse event reports associated
with the use of these vaccines. According to a letter distributed by the
manufacturer, the USDA has been alerted of this recall.


The recalled serial numbers include one-dose and five-dose vials of the vaccine.

 

Veterinarians with any of these serial numbers in stock should contact their distributor to arrange for the product's return.
