The vaccine may also be used for the active immunisation of sheep to reduce mortality and clinical signs of pneumonic and systemic pasteurellosis. The vaccine may be used in pregnant ewes to provide passive immunisation of their lambs to reduce mortality and clinical signs of lamb dysentery, pulpy kidney, tetanus and pasteurellosis in their lambs provided that the lambs receive sufficient colostrum during the first 1 to 2 days of life. Significant levels of immunity cannot be expected until two weeks after the second dose of vaccine in the primary vaccination course.

There are reports that active immunity will last for up to 12 months and that passive immunity will persist for up to 4 weeks after birth in lambs from ewes vaccinated with conventional pasteurella vaccines. Active immunity to the clostridial diseases is expected to persist for up to one year with passive immunity being present up to approximately 3 weeks after birth in lambs from ewes vaccinated with Heptavac P Plus.
