Vaccination for Marek's Disease

[Phage]

Hi All,
I am a bit new at this.
I hatched out some chicks but need to get them vaccinated against Marek's disease as I know someone who has had a young hen just die of it (hen got post a mortem!!). I am terrified that my 10 babies will also die, as the virus is "everywhere". It seems that you can only purchase the vaccinations in 1000 dose vials and the extra cannot be stored. Does anyone know of how I can get hold of smaller quantities?
Thanks so much

First off,

I've not heard of buying smaller amounts.

I've read that you can break the little wafer thingy into four pieces and keep the other three frozen for later hatches.

I've also read you can have vaccination parties with friends close by who are hatching at the same time.

I hatched a couple chicks this spring and looked into it. I ended up not vaccinating them.
