What You Should Know About Vaccines BACK  

Realize that all vaccines have to be shipped at some time. When placed in insulated bags with ice, they can be safely shipped to you, even in the summer time. Vaccines are shipped the first of the week to prevent them from being in transit over a weekend.

All vaccines ordered before 3pm Central Time will be shipped the same day. Any orders placed after 3pm CT will be shipped the following business day. If your order is placed after 3pm CT on Wednesday, your vaccines will not ship until the following Monday.

View Vaccine Delivery Schedule

When you receive your order, the ice packs will be melted but will have done their job protecting your biologicals. You should keep your biologicals refrigerated until you use them. Before ou order, make sure the shipping method and quantities of vaccines you choose are correct and the provided the level of protection you believe you need. To shorten your "in transit" time, your biologicals can be shipped next day or 2nd day air for an additional charge.

All Biologicals are Labeled: Use entire contents when first opening.

All of our handling controls are based upon advice from the manufacturer, professional consultaion and rigorous internal control procedures. Dr. Jeffers

Immunization Schedule for Your Brood Mare†
Disease General Signs Spread Vaccination Recommendations
Tetanus Difficulty eating or walking, overreaction to noise, stiffness, elevation of the third eyelid. Not contagious: caused by punctures & wound infection. Initially 2 ds of tetanus toxoid, 2 wks apart. If the timing is appropriate for annual inocculation, tetanus toxoid will be most useful 30 days prior to foaling.
Eastern & Western Encephalitis
(sleeping sickness) 		Often fatal: fever, staggering, circling, head pressing, depression & sleepiness. Not contagious, spread by mosquitoes. Greatest incidnce of this disease occurs in late summer & early fall, the optimum time to administer the annual vaccine is April, May & June.
Equine Influenza Rarely fatal: cough, loss of appetite, fever, depression, muscle soreness, discharge from nose & eyes. Very contagious: keep affected animals isolated. Vaccinate 30 days prior to foaling to protect the mare & provide antibodies for the neonatal foal. Administer boosters in the fall to provide year-round protection.
Rhinopneumonitis Respiratory distress (nasal discharge, cough), fever: causes abortion in pregnant mares. Very contagious: keep affected animals isolated. In areas with a known infection, an additional booster vaccine should be given 2 to 3 months after conception. A killed vaccine for the disease should be given in the 5th, 7th, and 9th mos. of pregnancy.
Strangles
(Equine Distemper) 		Fever; swollen jaw glands, loss of appetite, cough, nasal discharge, can cause abortion in pregnant mares. Very contagious, keep affected animals isolated. If disease incidence is high & anticipated, administer 2 injections 2 to 3 weeks apart in early fall. Immunity will last 5 to 6 months, so reinoculate in the spring if the mare is at risk from disease.
Potomac Fever Lethargy, anorexia, fever, colic, laminitis, colitis & diarrhea. Spread during insect season. Vector not known. Where disease incidence is high, vaccinate before the start of the insect season.
