I don't think immunity occurs until a week or so after the 2nd jab of heptavac. That said I've not lost one so far after it's had the first jab. So if you have a group of 3-4 week old lambs it would be expensive but worth doing them now, then when they have their 2nd jab in 4-6wks I would do you other lambs first jab. So you would need 3 bottles instead of 2, but that would hopefully start to halt pasturella. That said it would be worth if you have any more deaths getting the vet to pm a fresh carcass and see exactly what is going on. Pasturella sounds likely but you'll never know for sure unless you pm one.

   Immunity starts after the first injection but at low levels then  2wks after the second injection it is at maximum level
