Strepvax II Vaccine is designed to protect horses from Streptococcus equi infection. It's made using a purified M-protein antigen extracted through an exclusive process, and it promotes phagocyte destruction of virulent S equi. Healthy horses of all ages are eligible to receive the Strepvax II vaccine. It's sold in 10-dose or single-dose quantities.How it Works

Strepvax II is a concentrated aluminum hydroxide-adsorbed suspension of purified antigens derived from Streptococcus equi cells. It contains the antigenic protein of this antigen but is essentially free of the toxic and irritant substances present in whole cell bacterins.
