    Depends on what u want to prevent. You could give sheep a dozen different injections if u liked.

    We lamb 500 ewes here and have never needed vaccines for any of the above, good management, hygiene, and nutrition help control all of the above,
    Vaccines for clostridial diseases, (8 in 1s, etc), toxoplasmosis, enzootic abortion, and pasteurella pnuemonia are a good idea for breeding ewes
