You should give your calf vaccines that apply to your area. A shot of vitamin A, D, K, and Selenium (only if the area is Se-deficient), and other vitamins and minerals that may be needed. Later on, when the calf is around 8 to 16 weeks of age (or earlier if needed), a Blackleg or 8- or 9-way Clostridial vaccine should be administered. When the calves are around 6 months of age, a vaccination of IBR, BVD, PI3 and BRSV is also recommended. Killed vaccines should be given at pre-weaning. At or after weaning time, you can give them MLV (modified live virus) vaccines, though there are a few products of MLV vaccines that are approved for pre-weaned calves. Heifers should be given a Brucellosis (or Bang's Disease) vaccine when they are around 2 to 10 months old. Lepto (5-way) should only be given if your herd has a history of calves getting sick or lost from Lepto.
