Sadly, yes, there isn't a cure. But that ounce of prevention could prevent pounds and pounds of hurt, loss, and future problems. It breaks my heart every time I see posts on here of people's worst fears being validated by others in the Diseases section. If only they had been vaccinated...
Mareks is not coming only from exposure to infected chickens. Something else, possibly migratory songbirds or wild game birds are a vector. Keeping other poultry off and not showing may not protect as much as you like.
I totally agree. I have vaccinated all my current flock and will do the same with any future flocks.My opinion on the topic can be summed up in one phrase-

Are you certain vaccination makes birds carriers? What vaccination does in my understanding is that enables them to survive as carriers but does not make them so.If I vaccinate my chicks, am I putting my older non vaccinated birds at risk since they would be carriers? And no, mareks disease isn't treated by the medicated feed.
