Continuum® DA


Continuum® DA is a modified live virus vaccine containing attenuated strains of canine distemper virus (CDV) and adenovirus type 2 (CAV-2). Continuum DA is presented in a desiccated form with sterile diluent provided for reconstitution. The attenuated distemper virus strain used in Continuum DA is the Onderstepoort strain. Continuum DA is produced with a high-titered CDV component which is immunogenic. The Manhattan strain of adenovirus type 2 in Continuum DA confers protection against canine infectious hepatitis caused by CAV-1 without the adverse reactions associated with CAV-1, such as corneal edema (“blue eye”).

Modified Live Virus  


Indications
For the vaccination of healthy dogs as an aid in the prevention of disease caused by canine distemper virus and canine adenovirus type 1 for up to 3 years following initial and booster vaccinations. Protection against CAV-2 was demonstrated by serological responses in dogs at 36 months following vaccination.

Administration and Dosage
Aseptically reconstitute the desiccated vaccine with the sterile diluent provided and administer 1 mL by the subcutaneous route. Initial vaccination of healthy dogs may be given as early as 6 weeks of age, with booster injections administered every 3-4 weeks until 12 weeks of age.
