Any vaccination program must be designed according to the prevalence of diseases in the region or country and the specific needs of the target farm for laying pullets. Therefore, if a farm has a history of coryza, pasteurellosis, or an incidence of infectious bronchitis variant viruses, for example, it will act accordingly. And this has to be scheduled well in advance and applied on the rearing farm, where future laying chicks are produced and transferred to the multi-age laying farms.
