Hi there! Kids should be vaccinated at 5 to 6 weeks of age and then given a booster three to four weeks later. Vaccination of kids from properly vaccinated does PRIOR to 5 weeks of age may result in kids that are not protected and annual boosters may be ineffective. So vaccinating any earlier than 5 weeks is NOT recommended. Kids born to does with uncertain vaccination history or with questionable colostrum ingestion within the first 24 hours of birth should be vaccinated at 7 to 21 days of age and then given a booster three to four weeks later. Hope this answers your question! Best wishes!
