. The efficacy of the immersion method of vaccination was evaluated using Aeromonas salmonicida bacterin. In general a 2 min immersion vaccination was not as effective as vaccination by intraperitoneal injection; however, the level of immunity was improved by giving multiple vaccinations several days apart. A primary immersion vaccination with bacterin diluted 1:4 followed by a secondary vaccination diluted 1:2 gave good results. The most concentrated secondary booster was more effective than boosting with more dilute bacterin.
