Merial, now part of Boehringer Ingelheim, has announced that it is out of stock of Eurican Herpes vaccine in the UK and unable to confirm when it will be re-stocked.;

Eurican Herpes is used to vaccinate pregnant bitches to prevent mortality, clinical signs and lesions in puppies from canine herpes virus infections acquired in the first few days of life, through passive immunity. It is the only canine herpes vaccine. 

Humphrey Grimmett, Business Head for the pet prescription portfolio at Boehringer Ingelheim said: “We do understand how disruptive and frustrating it is when vaccines such as Eurican Herpes aren’t available to veterinary practices.

“We would like to reassure veterinary practices that we are doing everything we can behind the scenes to re-establish supply of Eurican Herpes, and we thank them for their support and patience.”
