POX-046A.jpg

Clinical Signs: 
vaccine "take"
Clinical description: 
This image shows a vaccine “take” on the chicken’s wing web. A “take” is a swelling of the skin or scab in the site where the vaccine was applied and is evidence of a successful vaccination. When administering the avian pox vaccine in the wing web, special care should be taken to avoid injection in the adjacent veins as this will cause a severe inflammatory response and hemorrhage. If the vaccine is properly administered the majority of the vaccinated birds should develop “takes” 7-10 days post-vaccination.
