The foal can start its first vaccinations once the mother antibodies from the colostrum milk are fading from it's system. For most horses this is around 6 weeks of age.

When initial vaccinations are given to foals depends on the vaccination history of the mare, the risk of exposure to specific diseases and the specific type of vaccine you are talking about. Foals of unvaccinated mares are generally started on vaccines between 3-5 months of age. Foals of vaccinated mares are generally started on vaccinations around 6 months of age. But again, the specific risks in an area should be taken into consideration. Your veterinarian should always be consulted to plan an appropriate vaccination regimen.

When should horses receive there first tetanus?

A foal gets his immunity from the first milk from the mare called colostrum. As long as the mare is healthy and current on her vaccinations the foal is good to go for about six months. At this point it is good to consult your vet to see what he recommends but this is about the time (give or take) to start his life-long series of vaccinations.
