Vaccination Regulations

The Jockey Club and other event organising authorities recognise the great importance of protecting against Equine Influenza. Therefore they have strict vaccination requirements which must be complied with if you wish your horse to enter their competitions or onto their premises. If you fail to comply with their regulations your horse will be barred from entry onto the site.

1st Equine Influenza vaccination

2nd vaccination after 21 to 92 days from 1st vac.

3rd vaccination after 150 to 215 days from 2nd vac

Thereafter annually, with the last permissible day being the same date as the previous year's vaccination.

Horses may not race until the 8th day after the day of vaccination.

It is the owner or trainer's legal responsibility to ensure that the horse's vaccination records comply with the Jockey Club Regulations.

 

Societies which demand compliance with the Jockey Club Regulations on vaccination against Equine Influenza include:

  • The British Horse Trials Association
  • British Endurance Riding Association
  • Events which take place upon race courses or Jockey Club land
