Cross-reference of related applications This application claims the benefit and priority of U.S. Provisional Application No. 62/950,607, filed on 19 December 2019. The entire specification and all drawings of the above-referenced application are: The entire text is incorporated herein by reference. Electronic identification (EID) button tags for placement on the ears of cows are known in the prior art. The EID button tag contains details about the cow (e.g., an identification number or an alphanumeric string of identifiers). It is configured to record electronically. The recorded details are recorded as Radio Frequency Identification (RFI). D) may be retrieved wirelessly by the associated reader using wireless technology such as EI. An example of a D-button tag is incorporated herein by reference in U.S. Patent No. 7,726,055 This can be found in the specifications of No. 7,854,079. The cattle are also tagged with orange metal ear tags to indicate that they have been vaccinated against brucellosis. These metal tags are plate-shaped and are separate from the EID button tags. U.S. Patent No. 7,726,055U.S. Patent No. 7,854,079 This shows an EID button tag formed according to the present invention.This shows an EID button tag formed according to the present invention.A vaccination identification button formed according to the present invention is shown.The following shows an applicator that can be used with this invention.The following shows an applicator that can be used with this invention.The following shows an applicator that can be used with this invention.The following shows an applicator that can be used with this invention.The following shows an applicator that can be used with this invention. The present invention relates to a vaccination identification button that can be used in conjunction with an EID button tag to identify cattle vaccinated against brucellosis. Embodiments of the EID button tag usable in the present invention are described herein. As will be recognized by those skilled in the art, the present invention is It may be used with any EID button tag that is consistent with the disclosure herein. Thus, the present invention may provide a new EID button tag ready for tagging, either as a kit with an applicator for installing on a new EID button tag or updating an already mounted EID button tag, or as a standalone item for installing on a new EID button tag or updating an already mounted EID button tag. Referring to Figures 1 and 2, an EID button tag, generally designated by reference number 10, is shown. The EID button tag 10 generally includes a shell 12, a transponder 14 located within the shell 12, and a male punch 16. The vaccination identification button 18 is, It is provided for attachment to the EID button tag 10. As will be described later, the vaccination identification button 18 can be attached to the male punch 16 to visually indicate that the cow's head has been vaccinated against brucellosis. The shell 12 is a disc-shaped body having a central opening 20 that penetrates the disc-shaped body. The shell 12 includes at least one internal hollow chamber 22. Preferably, the shell 12 includes at least one removable part or section that allows access to the hollow chamber 22. The transponder 14 may be of any known type for recording wirelessly retrievable information. The transponder 14 may have a receiver and/or transmitter to facilitate the reception or transmission of wireless signals. The transponder 14 may also include associated non-temporary memory (e.g., EEPROM) which may be readable/writable for electronically recording the details of the associated cow head. RFID, Bluetooth The information recorded in the transponder 14 may be accessed using any wireless technology, such as cellular. The transponder 14 is preferably located inside the shell 12, for example, inside the hollow chamber 22, along with a power source such as a battery. The shell 12 is preferably liquid-tight to minimize the ingress of moisture into the shell 12. Any sealing structures may be provided at any interface between components or parts of the shell 12 to prevent moisture ingress. The male punch 16 includes a disc-shaped punch body 24 and a stem 26 extending from the punch body 24 toward the end. The stem 26 includes a head 28 at its end 30, and the head 28 is configured to be irreversibly inserted into the central opening 20 of the shell 12. 2 may include ribs or other inwardly projecting elements around the central opening 20, the central opening 20 through which the head 28 can pass as insertion but restricts reverse movement by interference. Furthermore, or alternatively, the central opening 20 may be bounded by a frustoconical wall 31 and converge toward the end of a tapered end 33. The head 28 may be inserted through the central opening 20, and the tapered end 33 at the end of the central opening 20 acts to restrict reverse movement. The head 28 may have a tapered shape terminating proximal to an ann
