Notes

NEW EQUINE FLU vaccination information:   In order for any horse to compete it must have had the primary course of flu vaccinations consisting of two injections given no less than 21 days and no more than 60 days apart. 

 

The first booster is given between 120 and 180 days 

Additional boosters should then be given within 6 or 12 months depending on the governing body you are competing under. 

 

Foals do not require vaccinations prior to weaning   

 

There is no requirement for horses that have received their primary course and first booster before 1 January 2024, to be re-vaccinated provided that they have been vaccinated in compliance with the 2023 Veterinary Regulations.
