Hi folks,
made a mistake yday...hope its not an expensive one!..... injected some in-lamb ewes with Heptavac P on Saturday,then moved a few around and injected another bunch yday,realised afterwards there were 3 ewes that had been injected with the 2 cc dose on Sat and got it again yday...anyone know if this will harm the lambs in them?.....I know that with most doses for likes of fluke you can give up to a double dose safely....is it the same with vaccines?

no problem at all. when using covexin you used to have to give 5cc for the first dose that the sheep got of itin their life and 2cc for ever more . never did any harm
