Periodontal Vaccine Discontinued
Pfizer Animal Health announced it has discontinued manufacturing and distributing the Poryphomonas Periodontal “Perio” Vaccine.
They were distributing under a provisional license from the government, pending tests that proved the vaccine would prevent gingival redness and periodontal pocket formation. The vaccine did not perform better than controls for those parameters. This means, even though the bacteria were gone, the vaccine could not be proven to help with gingivitis in the specific ways Pfizer was trying to prove.
We recommend all-natural Perio-Powder or Water additive to enhance daily tooth brushing, or as a help for pets who will not allow tooth brushing.
