Salmonella vaccination advice please!

[Poddington Pea]

Hello all.

I have been advised that hens only need to be vaccinated once against Salmonella, is this correct?
My hens had been vaccinated before I got them, will I need to do this again, is it an annual thing?

I have looked in several books and online but can't find anything about repeat vaccination.

Many thanks for any help with this

Nope the salmonella vac can only be given to new born chicks that im aware of . so your chicks are fine, Most of us here dont vac are's as its too costly unless your doing 1000s

Commercial hens get a one off vaccination as chicks. So no, you don't need to do it again.

Thank you!
I had been told this and trusted the advice given, but now that I'm selling and giving my eggs away I thought it was responsible to double check rather than blindly trust one piece of advice.
Thanks again
