I have gone to the equine site and have not seen the answer----if you vaccinate with intranasal (live) flu or strangles on your show horses how long do you have to separate the non-pregnant from the pregnant, or do you not use live on a farm with pregnant mares period. Thanks

It is an excellent question Teri. Though we have covered the use of MLV herpes vaccines we have not covered the new IN ML flu and strangles. As we recently reported in the article on influenza the vaccine can be transmitted to other horses though not very efficiently. No such similar work has been done with the Strangles vaccine that I can find however. Until it is done I would assume it is transmissable and will be surprised if it is not. Until these vaccines are approved, or at least shown to be safe, for pregnant mares their use should be restricted around mares that are pregnant.
There are no known specific times for isolating recent ML vaccinates but I would suspect a month would be very safe, but I cannot guarantee it.
