How big is your incubation? Marek's only goes for 1000 doses and above?
If it is a small incubator it is likely not necessary but once you grow close to 1000 egg capacity you will need to get the vaccination, handle it properly, and administer in the right way. At first it is advised for a vet to show you to learn the basics and then do yourself from then onwards.
Any toughts @nedward ?

Mareks is highly contigious disease hence would advice you seek assistance from qualified personell if you are doing it for the first time. You can then learn the art and science of doing it. None the less the vaccine is available on all vet shops authorised to dispense vaccines . It is administered at a rate of 0.2ml subcutenously.
