.My vaccine is manufactured by Pfizer. It is Serotype 3 Live virus.
The vaccine produced by Merial is Serotype 2 Live Virus.
I cannot find any info on the manufacturing process of either one. I wonder if one Serotype is more effective in protecting birds that the other.
In terms of vaccine protection, I understand it to be:
Best (Rispens CVI 988 Strain + HVT)
Better (HVT + SB-1)
Good (HVT)
Until a better vaccine becomes available.
