Bovine Respiratory Disease Vaccination: What Is the Effect of Timing?

John T Richeson et al. Vet Clin North Am Food Anim Pract. 2020 Jul.

Abstract

Vaccination is the act of administering a vaccine, whereas immunization may occur if appropriate time is allowed for a competent host immune system to respond to the antigen contained in a vaccine. Timing is critical to ensure bovine respiratory disease (BRD) vaccine safety, efficacy, and efficiency. The current review provides temporal considerations of BRD vaccination within the North American beef production system with focus on vaccination timing in high-risk, newly received beef stocker and feedlot cattle.

Keywords: Bovine respiratory disease; Cattle; Delayed vaccination; Vaccine timing.
