## How it is calculated

**India — ICAR-CIRG goat health calendar [1]**

| Disease | First dose | Booster | Repeat |
|---|---|---|---|
| PPR | 3 months | Not required | Every 3 years |
| Foot-and-mouth disease | 3–4 months | 3–4 weeks after the first dose | Every 6 or 12 months |
| Goat pox | 3–4 months | 3–4 weeks after the first dose | Every 12 months |
| Enterotoxaemia | 3–4 months | 3–4 weeks after the first dose | Every 6 or 12 months |
| Haemorrhagic septicaemia | 3–4 months | 3–4 weeks after the first dose | Every 6 or 12 months |

Follow the manufacturer's recommendation for the exact interval [1].

**USA — CDT (Clostridium perfringens types C & D + tetanus) [2]:** kids at 5–6 weeks of age with a booster 3–4 weeks later; does about 30 days before kidding, so the kids are protected through colostrum; breeding bucks, yearlings and other adults get annual boosters, about 30 days before the breeding season [2].

## Worked example

Kid born 1 Jan 2026 (India): PPR on 1 Apr 2026; FMD, goat pox, ET and HS first doses 1 Apr – 1 May with boosters 3–4 weeks later.
