• Store and handle vaccines correctly to ensure the effectiveness of the vaccine is not reduced.
• Carefully adhere to safety precautions for workers handling vaccines and associated equipment.
• Dispose of used equipment safely, avoiding environmental contamination.
• To optimise the immunity gained ensure animals are in good health.
• Full protection does not occur until up to four weeks after the initial doses of the vaccine.
