Yes, my vets couldn’t get any, I got a prescription from them and bought online but it was very short dated (old stock), which was fine as needed to use straight away. If you find some online get a prescription and buy it now !

I thought it was always a short date due to its make up.
Toxovax is v short dated as made to order. Enzovax normally has a bit longer date, but the stock that’s still available is old stock hence why it’s short dated now.

I bought my enzovax from farmvetsupplies, would recommend. They’ve still got a bit left if the website is correct.

Had vet on a few weeks ago and got 150 doses of a batch for end of June and another 100 with end of July date what are yous doin for ewe lambs that haven’t been picked out yet? Hope that the September batch is ok or try and go threw lambs and see what you thinks suitable?

Had vets on a while back and they said it was cevac which had failed so they were giving priority to anyone who had enzovax last year.

Any opinions on this for replacing enzovax? My vet says it's the same thing but requires two shots and then a booster yearly much the same as heptavac.

It’s only slightly cheaper than enzovax as well so will work out expensive over their lifetime. But we are going to use it as no other option if lambing early.
You can vaccinate them in lamb which will be handy though

Think they had a big batch failure, next batch won't be ready til late September if its successfully made.
I here this september batch won't be available now.

Undecided if we sould risk it or use this other vaccine at £4.50 for the 2 jags but only lasts a year. Have used enzovax for 10+ years and don't buy females so maybe worth the risk and see what happens.

What's everyone else doing?

Personally, I’d just give it a miss and do them next year (or not). If you’ve been doing all your replacements every year, 80% of your flock will still be covered, even if it does arrive this year.
That’s a risk I’d take, and have previously.

I have also just taken the risk previously when not available and will do so again this year again.

I’m having to take the risk without it to for this year. Can get the toxo 1 but the other one can only be got in 120 dose pack and I only need 50 doses
