Vaccine facts - Everything you need to know

Things to note about vaccines: Transport the vaccines in well-insulated cool boxes containing ice packs to keep the temperature constant. Administer vitamins a day to vaccination and a day after to minimise stress. Never mix vaccine and vitamins. Do not vaccinate sick birds. In case of any ongoing antibiotic flock treatment, withdraw the treatment two days prior to vaccination and don't give any antibiotic two days after vaccination. Minimise vaccine reactions by reducing exposure time after preparation. For vaccines administered through drinking water, the drinking time should be at most two hours. Discard the remaining water, wash the drinkers and provide fresh water mixed with vitamins. Store the vaccine at +2 to +8°C .Never store in the freezer. Never use chlorinated water during vaccination. Use powdered skimmed milk or chlorine neutralizing tablets to dechlorinate. Always vaccinate your birds early in the morning or late in the evening. Deny your birds water for two hours bef
