How do you give Mereks vaccine?

[Folly's place]

All true. If Marek's disease ever hits my flock, I want my birds to do as well as possible as long as possible, and that's what the vaccine will do for them. And the unvaccinated birds here will give me that warning first. Then it's having a totally closed flock, no birds leaving to go anywhere else.
So far, so good...

I’ll add my experience Not sure if OP has MD already or just prefers to vaccinate.

My flock has mareks and it was devastating at first. Once it was under control I bought 5 vaccinated chicks from a hatchery. Three died in the first 3-5 months from mareks because I did not isolate well enough. Next I bought 4 vaccinated 3 week old chicks from another farm and 1 died from mareks at I think 6-8 months.
This round I bought 4 vaccinated chicks varying from 5-10 weeks in age
I have a sensitive son who is afraid to get attached at this point so I will most likely never bring unvaccinated chicks and stick to vaccinated 4 weeks or older in order to offer the best chances of survival.
