Hello there,
When my chicks hatched out the only things they had were chick crumbs to eat and water to drink.  Some chick crumbs are medicated (with ACS) against coccidiosis.  Some people use unmedicated crumbs and have coxoid ready in case the chicks become unwell.
11 bantams (and counting!) 2 dogs 1 cat

I used the coccidiosis medicated food, but didnt bother with any other vaccinations.
You can buy them, but they come in 1000 dose bottles.

Unless you have dozens of chickens, they probably arent worth it
We use chemicals in this garden, just as god intended
