Feline Infectious Peritonitis vaccine Felocell FIP

Felocell FIP is an intranasal vaccine against feline infectious peritonitis: it contains a temperature-sensitive type II feline coronavirus (FCoV) strain which can replicate in the cooler nares of the cat, but not at the higher temperature of the body.
In this video, I am going to answer questions frequently asked about the FIP vaccine:
• does the vaccine work?
• could the FIP vaccine itself cause FIP?
• does the FIP vaccine cause antibody enhanced disease (ADE)?
An independent, blinded, placebo-controlled field study by Swiss veterinarians at the University of Zurich showed that the vaccine was both safe and efficacious.
