Dr. O, I had the hardest time getting the intranasal flu vaccine to come out of the syringe and go up the nose. My question is, if the entire vaccine did not make it up the nostril, is that ok, or do I need to revaccinate? 1/2 of it would drip out of the tube, Levi was none too happy about and lifted me up in the air, so I don't know how much he actually got. It was a learning experience.
thanks

If you don't know how much he got and you want him protected I would repeat the vaccine. For many horses it is hard to give these properly and most horses require a little bit of training or extra restraint.
