Vaccination plays a preventive and foundational role in the overall medication strategy for a poultry flock. Rather than treating diseases after they occur, vaccines help build immunity in birds before they encounter pathogens, significantly reducing disease incidence, mortality, and the need for therapeutic medications like antibiotics.

Vaccination falls under the umbrella term of Biosecurity measures. As we move from a reactive treatment regimen to a proactive preventive strategy, vaccination is the foundational cornerstone for biosecurity that protects the flocks by providing active immunity against a specific pathogen. This enables the flock immunity that help sudden outbreaks leading to drop in production or disastrous mortality.
