    Get the pig in a good position for the vaccination. Try and keep it secure as it will probably try and bolt when you inject it.

    If your pig hasn't being vaccinated and then you probably should get it done. If you do not know how to do it and don't want to risk hurting your pig the best thing you can do is get it done professionally.

    Order an appointment at the vetinery clinic or arrange for a vet to come out to your place. This is probably the safest option.
