[QUOTE="Lucky_P, post: 795567, member: 12607"] Nothing to lose (other than the cost of the vaccine), by giving it at birth - or at least, early on - though I'd avoid giving any vaccine between days 3 and 6, as that's when immunosuppression appears to be at its peak. Will they respond adequately if vaccinated at birth? We don't know for sure, though evidence is mounting that colostral antibodies don't appear to have as much adverse impact on response to most vaccines as we'd thought earlier. But I'd definitely give another dose around 3 months, and another at weaning. Some folks have to learn the hard way - I know I did. The loss of those two calves(and potentially more, even if he vaccinates now) will probably more than pay for all the blackleg bacterin he'd use in a lifetime. [/QUOTE]
