Dr O,
Then if a horse that just got the intranasal strangles vaccine, sneezes,
swabbing the injection site with an alcohol swab just before injection,(for the other injectable vaccines) should probably prevent a problem at the injection site??
I am thinking, the alcohol kills + one has physically wiped away the contaminant.

A little secret about alcohol swabs just prior to injection: it does not reduce the incidence of injection asbscesses. If a horse had sneezed directly on an injection site, I would want to scrub it up. A good alcohol wipe left on for 5 minutes may help. Best is to give the injections prior to giving the intranasal.

Dr O, Thank you.
Now that I have a young horse, all my friends are asking me about why I gave it (the intranasal vaccine). I guess I did, because I am not real impressed with the horse care I see in my neighborhood, or when I goto public horse events. I am pretty big believer in herd immunity, so my herd got the vaccine today.
So, (last question - I hope on this topic, LOL!)
With the intransal strangles vaccine, if the remote possibility of purpura or lymphadenopathy occurs, what is the time frame they (the vaccine Co.), said they found it to occur?
Thank you again, for your replies!

Purpura can happen at anytime Penner and is one of the complications of the disease itself, so unvaccinates get this too. It can come on as early as a couple of days following vaccination and I am not sure there is a time after you can consider safe since nonvacinates can get this too. The problem occurs most often when you vaccinate in the face of exposure to the disease.
