Equine Vaccination Intervals
The interval between 1st and 2nd vaccine is now 21-60 days (3 weeks to 8 weeks 4 days).
The interval between 2nd and 3rd vaccine is now 120 – 180 days (5 months to 6 months 21 days).
This is the same as current BHA/racehorses
Example – 1st vaccination given on 1st March so 2nd vaccination due no earlier than 22nd March and no later than 30th April.
2nd vaccination given on 1st April so 3rd vaccination due no earlier than 1st September and no later than 22nd October.
If both the first and second vaccines were given before 1st January 2024, old intervals are fine. The third vaccine must be given in line with new intervals
If only the first vaccine is given before 1st January, the second vaccine must be given according to new intervals.
