The fowl pox vaccination should only be administered to healthy birds to prevent the transmission of the disease. It will not cure them if they already have fowl pox. It is also worth Keeping in mind that without proper handling and administration, the vaccine will be ineffective. If you have concerns about your birds having Fowl Pox you should take them to a veterinarian right away.
