Safety and support

Safe and correct administration of fish vaccines reduces the risk of accidental self-injection. It is imperative that all personnel involved in fish vaccination follow safety recommendations at all times. As guidance differs between manual and machine vaccination, personnel should review and follow the relevant guidelines and recommendations for the method being used.

Prior to vaccination, the person in charge (team leader) must ensure that all vaccinators have received proper training and that a contingency plan is in place, including procedures for notifying local health personnel in the event of an incident. We also advise establishing contact with a doctor who has been briefed on self-injection recommendations and who can act as a designated contact for staff and treating health personnel.

In addition, posters from our tools and guides can be placed in the vaccination area. These provide:

  • preventative safety measures
  • guidance in case of accidental self-injection
  • information intended for the treating doctor
