Vaccination Protocols for Young Pigs This is a general outline of vaccines, dosage and schedules from three of the most well-respected swine veterinarians in the country working with showpig producers and exhibitors. Each herd is different and you should consult with your veterinarian about a program that will work in your herd. This is not an endorsement to any one recommendation over another, but rather, an emphasis on making health a priority. The following vet clinics would welcome any questions you may have.
