4 weeks minimal and up to 6 weeks, lambing spread would also have a bearing on success

Heard of issues if you use it under 3 weeks or so

I dosed all sheep on 15th December & gave shot of hep, that'd see to last week in Jan, but still a few left to lamb in Feb.
Should I give a second shot or leave be?
All are Last years Hoggets (mostly bought in) & older ewes ( boated yearly)
