[QUOTE="Lucky_P, post: 909364, member: 12607"] The Bovi Shield products are not intended to be given intranasally. Read the instructions - subcutaneous or intramuscular. Do they work intranasally? Who know? Maybe; or it may have had the same effect if you'd just squirted the vaccine on the ground. The manufacturer proved that it was effective if given by the recommended SQ or IM route; they make no claim or recommendation for intranasal administration. If you're going to use an intranasal, I'd recommend Inforce-3, then booster with Bovi-Shield (or comparable product) 2 weeks later. That's what we do with our own calves, here. A booster vaccination at 4-6 weeks - or whatever the vaccine manufacturer recommends - is usually necessary. Read the label instructions. They don't make that recommendation just to sell more vaccine. Really. They've had to demonstrate to USDA that their vaccine is effective, and in most cases, a booster within a prescribed time frame is required in order to get the level of protection for animals to meet the requirements for X% of vaccinated animals to withstand challenge with the pathogens contained in the vaccine. In many cases, if you don't give the booster, you've wasted your time and $$ giving the initial dose. [/QUOTE]
