Ensure that vaccinator carries the vaccines in a proper way
Foot and Mouth disease vaccine is to be brought under the cover of ice but NOT frozen as frozen vaccine are useless. It is also true when you purchase vaccines from a medicine shop.
Vaccine for diseases like HS (Haemorrhagic Septicemia), B Q (Black Quarters) is not necessarily to be carried in ice but they are to be carried in a well-protected (from sun) box and are to be kept in cool and dry place.
Ensure that separate needle is used for each animal, duly sterilized in boiling water ( Not just hot water)
Any vaccine needs to be used before the company marked expire date. Employ a reliable person to check and note name of the vaccine and batch number.
Inquire about the proper dose of the vaccine and ensure that the same is given as per instruction. In case where vaccine needs to be administered under skin (sub cutenious) ensure that the administrator pulls the skin before pushing the needle as simple stabbing does not ensure that vaccine will go under skin
Animals receiving vaccination may show allergic reaction within few minutes to few hours (2 min to 6 hours). Ensure that, your vaccinator is prepared to face such situation. E.g. easy availability of anti histaminic drugs.
Do not allow vaccinator to use the needle from ground unless it is sterilized again.
Always vaccinate your animals preferably after evening milking, during cool hours of the day.
It is necessary that you should protect all animals in the herd not only the selected ones. Follow a schedule of vaccination unless there is a need of emergency vaccination in the face of an outbreak.
