All goat vaccines are formulated to be and so must be given as injections. Follow these guidelines when giving a vaccination: To minimize the chance of an adverse reaction, vaccinate goats only when they are in good health. Do not use expired or cloudy vaccines. Use a 20-gauge, 1-inch or 3/4-inch needle on an adult, or a 1/2-inch needle on a kid. Follow the manufacturer’s instructions for dosage.
