Immune response to vaccines?

I don't want to waste more time and money. I would like to know what are the best times to vaccinate fawns, doe,and bucks. What factors contribute to getting a good immune response and what factors contribute to getting a poor immune response to a vaccine? How does an unvaccinated vs.vaccinated mothers first milk pass or effect a fawns immunity or immune response if they nurse. For instance, if the vaccine is given to a fawn while nursing on an unvaccinated mothers first milk is the vaccine wasted? Does the time of year or poor body condition after breeding or other factors mean I am potentially not going to get a good performance from vaccinating at a less than proper time. When vaccinations are marketed this is rarely discussed. I have spent thousands of dollars having vaccines made and purchasing them.I would like to know more if someone has helpful insight. Thanks

Thanks Wayne,

The first 3 days of the month and in times of stress 10g crumbles are added to our top coat. We also when it rains in the fawn and doe pens in the spring and summer treat our water troughs with sulfamed-G until the trough is empty or about 3 days. If water soluble powder is used we mix it thoroughly in a gallon jug with a pack of cherry jello before we put it in the trough.I would love to be confident in a vaccine. It would simplify things.

After questioning my wife's Doctor, my sister a med school graduate and several DVM's about this subject I still have many questions. It seems that when vaccinating fawns within 3-6 months of birth that the vaccine will be battling the mothers colostrum. My three deAr little girls get their immunizations and they aren't given to my deAr wife while she is pregnant to pass immunity to them by way of her colostrum. The path of every bacteria and health issue is different. I think the best way to vaccinate may be to vaccinate and boost mothers then wait six months after birth and vaccinate and boost offspring. I would love to see this explained further.

We have had healthy fawns to this point this year. We just began catching them about a week ago and vaccinating for preventive maintenance. Our adult doe have not been vaccinated with this vaccine so by vaccinating our fawns before six months this time their immune responses to the vaccine should not be effected as drastically by their mother's first milk. I crave more understanding of this subject.

Thanks much for your input!!!
