Vaccinating, And The Law

[shweet]

is it true that you can vaccinate your own birds but it is illegal to do it to anyone elses birds unless your a Vet ?

I always vaccinate my own, i feel better that way and wouldnt want it any other way but i know most fanciers wouldnt do it and dont instead opting to get a friend to do it

Just got some information in this mornings post the current batch of vaccine goes out of date on 25th January and there will be none until later in the year as production is being moved to Spain this applies to Colombovac PMV

Im not sure if im gonna sound stupid now but what do you mean the current batch ? Do you mean all the colombac pmv currently on the shelves in all shops ?

This was advised earlier in the year. Production is by batch, each is given a unique number and an expiry date. Since Colombovac production moved away from the south of England a number of years ago, they have had production and licence difficulties which has led to first shortages, then none at all for months. Only the last batch expiring 25/1/14 is left, so if you want your OBs done for 2014 you need to buy it now and do them before the expiry date.

 

In my experience, Nobilis has never had this bother and if Colombovac UK supplies run out, there is always Nobilis to fall back on, and I reckon that's what I'll be using for my 2014 YBs..

As far as I know it is perfectly alright to vaccinate other fanciers birds as it is a dead vaccine

And you have two witness's ,but I'm sure you will hear different ,I have done it for years .OMO.
