Mareks vaccine overdose HELP

Don't know the answer to your question but if they are alive a day later that seems good. The only question I thought of is that when we buy day old hatchery chicks they sell them vaccinated (or unvaccinated if you prefer) but from what I've read they seem to want the vaccination given within the first 24 hours. Do you know anything about this? It might help to know if chicks can be vaccinated if you get them later or from a different source than the hatchery.

I think hatcheries offer to vaccinate your chicks if you pay extra for it if they offer the service. I've never known them to do it voluntarily, but I also haven't looked at hatcheries in a few years.

The hatcheries I have dealt with vaccinate for $1.00 extra per chick, but they do not vaccinate bantams as they say they are too fragile and small.
They've either also said or I have read that the vaccination must be given within that young time frame. Not sure if that is true or not or if it is just something they say so you get it.

We vaccinated some 5 week old chick after buying the vaccine online. I read the instructions then decided to follow a YouTube video instead like an idiot. I didn't mix all the dilution mix and instead gave a few chicks a mega dose from the vaccine bottle before realizing what I did. I feel terrible. Did I just Kill these poor chicks?! Has anyone had experience with this and does anyone k ow how to treat it? Tried to call a few help lines but they are closed. Please any advise would be greatly appreciated.
