Directions for Drinking Water Vaccination:

Do not open and mix the LaSota vaccine until ready to vaccinate.
Remove all medication, sanitizers, and disinfectants from the drinking water 72 hours prior to vaccination.
Provide sufficient water so that all of the birds can drink at one time. Clean and rinse the waterers thoroughly.
Withhold all water from the birds for two (2) to four (4) hours prior to vaccination with the LaSota vaccine to stimulate thirst.
Add nonfat dry milk to the water at the rate of one (1) ounce per gallon before mixing the vaccine.
Remove the aluminum seal and rubber stopper from a vaccine vial.
Fill the LaSota vaccine vial two-thirds (2/3) full with clean, cool water and mix gently.
Mix the dissolved vaccine with water as shown below:
