New equine herpes vaccine announced
Horse vet
The vaccine will be available to order directly from Merial on receipt of a Special Import Certificate.

Merial granted a wholesale dealer import certificate

Merial Animal Health has been granted a wholesale dealer import certificate to import and supply a European licensed Equine Inactivated Herpes vaccine while there is no licensed vaccine available in the UK.

The vaccine will be available to order directly from Merial on receipt of a Special Import Certificate (SIC) issued by the VMD to the named vet.

The SIC is only required once, but needs to accommodate all potential doses required, enabling Merial to supply to direct orders from the practice.

The product is available in 10 dose packs at a net price of £89.00 per pack. Further information is available from Merial Customer Support.
