Prevents shedding of vibriosis to safeguard your heifers and cows reproductive potential
Can be used to vaccinate bulls, heifers and older cows.
Bulls can be vaccinated prior to mating, with two 5 mL doses a minimum of 4 weeks apart.
Heifers can be vaccinated after 18 months of age with a single 5 mL dose (2 doses are required if the program begins before this time)
An annual booster dose of 2 mL, or the convenience of a 5 mL dose every two years, will provide ongoing immunity against vibriosis.
The vaccine should be injected subcutaneously.
Veterinary advice should be sought before commencing a vaccination program as a number of options are available depending on circumstances.
The most comprehensive program involves the vaccination of all breeding animals including bulls, cows and heifers.
Bulls:
Initially, all bulls should be given two 5 mL doses a minimum of 4 weeks apart. Vaccination should be timed so that the second dose is given about 2-4 weeks before joining.
After this initial vaccination program, an annual dose of 5 mL each year will ensure they remain protected. Regular vaccination of bulls before joining is an important means of controlling the disease.
Heifers (younger than 18 months):
Initially heifers should be given two 5 mL doses a minimum of 4 weeks apart. Vaccination should be timed so that the second dose is given about 2-4 weeks before joining.
Heifers and cows (older than 18 months)
Initially, heifers/cows should be given a 5 mL dose. After this initial dose an annual dose of 2 mL, or a single dose of 5 mL every two years will ensure they remain protected. The vaccine should be given 2-4 weeks before joining.
Other control measures such as segregation of infected cattle, use of young clean bulls and culling of barren cows should also be practised.

Target Parasites & Animals
Vibrovax is registered for use in both beef and dairy cattle — bulls, heifers and cows. It is the only vaccine registered in Australia for the prevention of Bovine Venereal Campylobacteriosis, commonly known as Vibriosis. This sexually transmitted bacterial disease causes infertility and abortion in breeding cattle, making it a significant reproductive threat to Australian cattle herds.
Vibrovax is administered by subcutaneous injection. Bulls should receive two 5 mL doses a minimum of 4 weeks apart prior to mating. Heifers 18 months of age or older can be vaccinated with a single 5 mL dose; two doses are required if the program begins before 18 months of age. Annual booster doses of 2 mL maintain ongoing immunity, or alternatively a 5 mL dose every two years can be used for convenience.
Always use clean, sterile equipment and follow standard aseptic technique when administering the vaccine. Inject subcutaneously as directed on the label. The most comprehensive protection is achieved by vaccinating all breeding animals, including bulls.
Veterinary advice should be sought before commencing a vaccination program, as a number of options are available depending on your herd's circumstances and history. Do not vaccinate animals that are unwell. Store and handle the vaccine correctly to maintain efficacy.
Always read the current registered product label before use. Dose rates and withholding periods on this page are provided as a guide only. The registered label supplied with the product is the legal document and takes precedence. If in doubt, contact TGRM on (07) 5482 1692 or the manufacturer directly.
Tips for Best Results
- Plan your vaccination program well ahead of joining — bulls should complete their two-dose primary course at least 4 weeks before mating begins to ensure adequate immunity is established in time.
- Vaccinate every bull, every year — even one unvaccinated bull in a mob can introduce or spread Vibriosis across your entire cow herd during joining, undermining the protection you've built in your females.
- Don't overlook purchased bulls — any new bull entering your herd is an unknown risk. Ensure all introduced animals complete the appropriate vaccination course before joining, and consider a veterinary check for Vibriosis status prior to purchase.
- Keep accurate records of vaccination dates, lot numbers, and animals treated — this supports your management decisions and is essential for herd health planning from season to season.
- Store Vibrovax in a dedicated vaccine fridge between 2°C and 8°C. Never freeze the vaccine, and minimise the time it spends out of refrigeration during use. Discard any unused vaccine as directed on the label.
- If you're unsure whether Vibriosis has been an issue in your herd — poor conception rates, returns to service, or unexplained abortions can all be indicators — speak with your vet or call TGRM on (07) 5482 1692 for guidance before your next joining season.
Always read the label and follow directions for use. The registered label is the legal document governing use of this product.
