Hello all and thanks for your welcomes and responses.
I think I need to clarify what I was asking a little more.
The breeder and the feed store we have got our chicks from in the past used to vaccinate them before sale to the public, but for some reason that has recently changed.
What I need to know is if there is any validity to the stance that vaccinating against Marek disease is, for some reason, not necessary in the Los Angeles area?

This particular vaccine does not prevent the disease... It only prevents some of the symptoms.
Some people that already have the disease in their flock prefer to buy vaccinated birds.

I do not have the disease in my flock and I would not buy vaccinated birds.


It is a personal choice.
