Heptavac to lambivac timings
« on: January 17, 2021, 02:59:56 pm »
Hi, I would like to change my 3 goats from heptavac to lambivac. They were vaccinated with heptavac last April by the previous owner. They're due to kid in early march. When should I give the doses of lambivac? Thanks

Tbh, I would re-do the initial double course - so give 1st shot asap, and then second one four weeks later - this should tie in with allowing three weeks or so pre-kidding to build up immunity and for antibodies to be transferred into colostrum.
