A revaccination 3 to 6 weeks later according to product label directions is necessary to provide the best protec-tion.lackleg seldom affects cattle older than 2 years of age, most likely due to immunity induced by vaccines or natural exposure. However, sporadic cases do occur in cattle older than 2 years and are often associated with the reuse of needles for multiple injections.
