The EU Commission has approved the simultaneous use of the pig vaccines Ingelvac CircoFLEX® and Ingelvac MycoFLEX® in the European Union. Boehringer Ingelheim will market this unique vaccine concept under the name FLEXcombo®. The simultaneous administration of both vaccines represents an innovation in pig health management. Now protection against two of the most prominent and costly pig diseases, Porcine Circovirus Disease (PCVD) and Enzootic Pneumonia, can be achieved with a single injection instead of up to four injections. Today an average of more than 70% of European pigs receive vaccines for these two diseases.The combined use of Ingelvac CircoFLEX® and Ingelvac MycoFLEX® is already registered and widely used in North America and Asia. It is globally the first and only product combination of its kind. “We are very proud that we can now also supply veterinarians and farmers within the European Union with the latest innovation: the simultaneous use of Ingelvac CircoFLEX® and Ingelvac MycoFLEX® . It will help them tremendously in reducing the number of injections to pigs, in supporting the well-being of their animals and the farm economics by saving a substantial amount of labour” comments Dr. Joachim Hasenmaier, Head of Corporate Animal Health at Boehringer Ingelheim.
