The answer is yes it will still work, BUT you don't want to give in the muscle. The animal's body sometimes walls the vaccine off and abcesses in the muscle. You don't find the abcess until you cut into the meat. This can be a real customer relation problem.

I'm not sure if this is true or not but I was told that it will take longer before the vaccine will be effective too. I don't know how much longer though.

That is the reason not to give the vaccinations in the top butt.
