New AVMA vaccination recommendations
Excluding rabies, it seems as if the AVMA has changed its recommendations on core vaccinations -- instead of yearly, there has been a shift to inoculating every three years. I'm not sure how recent this change is, but now that my dogs are due for their annuals, it is the first I have heard about it.
First, just wanted to share this info in case you were also unaware of this.
Second, for those that knew/know this, will you continue to vaccinate yearly for DHPP?
Last, the recommendation is to continue to give lepto vaccine on a yearly basis. I prefer to vaccinate my own dogs, but it is proving difficult to find a vaccine for lepto only (my usual web source doesn't offer it, nor do several other sites that I have checked). Anyone know of a source? I have not yet checked with my vet about it -- thought I would see what others are doing first.
Thanks for any help.
