ABSTRACT:
It has been found that adequate protection against viral infection in equines can be achieved when vaccination with a live viral vaccine (prime) is followed by vaccination with an inactivated vaccine (boost) for the same virus, wherein the two shots are given no longer than 8 weeks apart.The invention therefore provides a method for vaccination of equines against infection with an equine viral pathogen, wherein an animal is first vaccinated with a (prime) vaccine comprising an attenuated form of the pathogen, followed by a vaccination with a (boost) vaccine comprising the same pathogen in inactivated form, and wherein the boost vaccine is administered no longer than eight weeks after the prime vaccine.The method of the invention is especially useful for vaccination against viral infections such as infections with EIV and/or EHV-1/EHV-4.Especially for EIV, it has been found that when equines are vaccinated with such a prime-boost vaccine regimen according to the invention, the equines are protected against clinical signs after a challenge with a virulent EIV.
