Medgene Vaccine Update
The following is an update Dr. Shipley has received from Medgene Labs:
Good morning,
I wanted to send out
an update that Medgene currently has about 5,000 doses of EHDV2 vaccine
available. Deer that received 2 doses this past summer/fall will need a single
dose booster for the 2020 EHD season. Our recommendation is to vaccinate
April-June for best results.
Per USDA guidelines,
we are still required to get approval prior to shipping vaccine to each
location. In an effort to reduce delay to clients, we are recommending to
purchase the vaccine ahead of time. We will likely have EHDV1, EHDV6 and
several BTV vaccines available in 2020 as well. These vaccines will be able to
be used in cervids and/or camelids, not just white-tailed deer.
Please let me know if
you would like to place an order or have any questions.
Best,
Ashley
