Vaccinating before next jab is due?

[HaffiesRock]

Can anyone tell me what the earliest you can vaccinate, before the next (yearly) jab is due?

I ask because I've just taken on a new pony who is due her vaccinations approximately 4 weeks before my pony. Ideally id like to get them done together for ease, but is it OK to do my pony a month early?

Thanks

When you compete under fei rules they have to be injected twice a year so I wouldn't see it been a problem doing her 4 weeks early.

It's perfectly safe. I recently had this same conversation with my vet because my newest herd member will be due for her booster in early June, but I want her to be on the same schedule as my other equines in early March. No problem in giving her jab three months early.

Yes that would be fine, mine was done a month early last year

Mine was jabbed a month early too. Vet was visiting and while taking great interest in her passport he saw that she was coming up for jabs and did her then

Mine was done six months early to get him in line with the others I owned.

Completely fine one of mine was due in nov and one dec, both event. So to save two callouts got both done at same time, and saved taking two afternoons off work
