Which of the following is not a recommended guideline for handling vaccines?

Transport, store, and handle at refrigerated temperatures
Vaccinate at regular intervals
Transport, store and handle at ambient temperature
Use reputable suppliers for vaccine procurement

The correct answer is: Transport, store and handle at ambient temperature

Transporting, storing, and handling vaccines at ambient temperature is not recommended because vaccines are sensitive to temperature fluctuations that can affect their efficacy. Vaccines typically need to be maintained within specific temperature ranges, usually refrigerated conditions, to ensure they remain effective. Exposing vaccines to higher temperatures can lead to degradation, reducing their effectiveness and potentially compromising the health of the animals being vaccinated. In contrast, maintaining vaccines at proper refrigerated temperatures preserves their potency. Vaccination at regular intervals is essential for maintaining immunity in herds, and using reputable suppliers ensures that the vaccines are of high quality and properly stored before reaching the user. These practices are crucial for effective vaccination programs in feedyards and animal management.
