Anyone else ever been late on shots?

I noticed today on the calendar that the first 2 kids born this spring were due for their 2nd CD & T shot 3 days ago. Well of course they got it today but will it still work. It was given on day 24 instead of day 21?
I'm usually right on time & keep a close eye on the calendar but I've just been so so busy I missed this one.

I do it all the time !!! The second shot is a booster anyway. I don't fret about it if I'm a day or two late. My .02.

No big deal at all. Honestly, many studies show that multiple or yearly boosters say for dogs and other animals are largely unnecessary - once an immunity is established, it doesn't need to be redone every freaking year it seems... Perhaps every few years at most. But, how else would vets get people into their offices, and vaccine companies make sales? I vaccinate because it's expected of goat breeders to do so, and it's not like it's expensive or that terrible.

So being late - don't fret.

Thanks! That's a load off my mind. I always thought if I wasn't right on 21 days I'd have to start the cycle over.
