- The latest research on vaccines is changing when and for whom we recommend vaccinations.
- The most recent research suggests that the duration of immunity of most vaccines is considerably longer than previously thought. Research also suggests that some cats can be subject to a possible vaccine induced tumor and some dogs may have possible adverse immune reactions due to some vaccines.
Vaccinating is still critically important to your pets health.
Not vaccinating pets will do far greater harm to the pet population than over vaccinating. Historically, vaccines were recommended to be given annually with rabies recommended every three years. Rabies is still legally required every three years. Recent research at Cornell University, Colorado State University, the University of Wisconsin and recommendations from the University of California at Davis suggest the annual vaccinations are not necessary. Many universities, associations and veterinarians are revising their recommendations.
