Vaccines help to reduce the incidence or the severity of disease by stimulating the immune system to provide protection. This film has been created for farmers and farm staff to demonstrate the correct technique used to vaccinate cattle safely and effectively. Five key areas are covered:
1. Storage and use of the vaccine at the correct temperature
2. Using the vaccine at the correct time, interval, dose and route
3. Importance of good hygiene when using the vaccine and equipment
4. Ensuring adequate safety for people and animals involved
