VACCINES

[Guest TAMMY_1]

ONCE YOU HAVE OPENED A BOTTLE OF VACCINE HOW LONG WOULD YOU FEEL SAFE TO STORE IT AND CONTINUE TO USE THE SAME BOTTLE AS NOT ALL YOUNG BIRDS ARE READY AT THE SAME TIME ?

I've known fanciers use it 6 months after opening, but they keep it in the fridge after opening.

 

hope this helps

tammy i have vaccinated my old birds in january then put it back in fridge and done my youngsters in april and never had any side affects or anything so personally i think all this gumff that you here is only to make us buy more vaccine go to a vet to have your dog vaccinated thry dont throw the bottle away once it has been used do they ?

JUST THE SAME AS EVERYONE ELSE I BUY ENOUGH TO DO THE YOUNGSTERS AND TO HAVE ENOUGH LEFT OVER TO DO THE WHOLE LOT AGAIN AROUND XMAS OUT OF THE SAME BOTTLE JUST KEEP IT IN THE FRIDGE TILL I NEED IT!!!

Like the other posts, I keep it in the fridge and use before expiry date.

 

Only slight difference from the other posts is that I buy my fresh batch for my youngsters to be done in July, no less than 2 weeks before training begins. My reason for doing so is that they can fly next year's June, July races without further vaccination as they are still within the 12 months period.

 

The vaccine left over is refrigerated for use on the late breds & racers 2yo and over late January, no less than 2 weeks before pairing up.
