Choosing a New Vaccine

A Solution or a Potential Problem

Abstract

Vaccination is an integral part of disease prevention and control programs in dairy and beef production systems. Despite widespread acceptance of vaccination, many aspects of vaccination are controversial. Veterinarians are often confronted with implementing or changing vaccines and vaccination programs without having access to adequate information. This paper addresses controversial issues related to the implementation of modified-live viral vaccine programs and the selection of BVD and BRSV vaccines.
