What is the maximum amount of vaccine that should be given in one spot per BQA standards?

• A. 10 cc
• B. 5 cc
• C. 15 cc
• D. 20 cc

Answer: (A)

The amount given at one injection site should not exceed 10 mL. This limit helps protect tissue health and ensures vaccines are absorbed properly, reducing swelling, injection-site reactions, and potential carcass quality issues. If multiple vaccines are needed, use additional sites along the neck, spaced apart, rather than loading a single spot. Keeping each injection to at or below 10 mL also helps with traceability and minimizes interference between vaccines.
