Flu jab?

[jillianc]

My horse is due for his flu jab on the 15th, which is not convenient as he is coming back from a short loan the day before. This is his 6 month booster after getting the first 2 jabs 6 weeks apart. What I'm wondering is, does it have to be done by the 15th to save starting all over again, or can it wait a couple more days?

I believe the intervals are -

1st injection followed by 2nd injection between 21 and 92 days later;
3rd injection 150 – 215 days followed by the annual booster within 365 days.

Thanks, I'm off to find the diary and start counting.

christmassparkle you are right!

those exact days specified above are correct. basically makes the 3rd jab 5-7mths after the first one, so a few days past 6mths should be fine.

make sure your booster is done a couple of days before the last one coz even if you go over by one day you haver to start again. well my friend did any way!
