I have vaccinated in the morning and then taken the birds training later the same day,never had any problems,must of done 1000,s of club members birds over the years.

Training the same day I would say yes,when I do mine I vaccinate mark them on the vac sheet and throw them up,they'll fly for a hour or so.Vaccinating leaving in a basket over night I would have second thoughts about??

i always vaccinate my birds 3 weeks before the first young bird race, and there trained all the way leading to the race, you find the pmv vaccine gives the birds a boost in there immune system

[Guest IB]

The whole point of vaccinating for PMV is to give the birds immunity against it. That doesn't happen overnight. With Colombovac it's 14 days, and with Nobilis it's 5 weeks before the birds have immunity against the disease. The birds are not supposed to mix with any others during these periods.

Glad I'm in the Up North Combine

 

There's far too many people not taking the vaccinations seriously enough

 

And even more not bothering

 

When I was at Blackpool this year, someone from Essex sat on our table at the hotel and got into conversation with us and said 'who vaccinates their birds anyway'

 

err - we do, everything, stock birds - the droppers, made me feel like I was the only person in the world who did - and that very few RPRA members did, just signing the forms themselves and not actually vaccinating - just asking for trouble

 

in the Up North Combine - it is properly organised (the other NEHU organisations are different)

 

we have to have our birds vaccinated by 1st March - old birds and

21st June young birds - 4 weeks before the start of each season - and vaccinating the year before as old birds does not count - as the yearlings would not be protected for the whole of the old bird season - and if they are not vaccinated by those dates they cannot mix with other birds until 4 weeks after they have been vaccinated - which means that you can miss a lot of racing

 

There is an official vaccination form from the combine - and only that can be used - there has to be 2 witnesses - AND signed by the club secretary or a vet and stamped by them

Thanks for your replys, yes REDCHEQHEN I vaccinate every thing, but i have heard a few people who do the bearest minimum and even try to get away with it!!

[Guest REDFOXKRAUTHS]

P.S the only reason i was late vaccinating this year was because i had a hell of a job getting vaccine then i had problems with the company i orderd from and then it buggered up my entire yb season! so had to wait for these trainers!
