One vaccination without a booster, especially if the lable indicates the need for a booster, probably does not protect the vaccinated animals against developing disease if they get exposed to the agent. So, its probably a waste of vaccine money to only give one dose of the vaccine. As always, follow lable directions and BQA management techniques.
