About antibody testing, here is a really good link to a page on the American Animal Hospital Association website: https://www.aaha.org/guidelines/cani...y_testing.aspx According to AAHA, antibody testing is only valid for the following vaccinations: canine distemper virus (CDV) canine parvovirus (CPV) canine adenovirus (CAV) There are a lot of other good links about vaccination on the left side of the AAHA page that I linked to above.

https://drjeandoddspethealthresource...6#.WoZrqMpOmhC As for titers, more work needs to be done like standardizing the procedures, etc. I was only going to do it to see if my immune-challenged dog was capable of making any antibodies, not to skip vaccines or anything like that. Quote:

| Duration of immunity--Dr. Schultz I'm attaching an image of a table documenting duration of immunity for various types of vaccine from a paper co-authored by Dr. Schultz in 2001. You really have to go by the challenge study results--that's where they try to infect the vaccinated dog with the disease. Those types of studies are the most accurate. The paper itself may be behind a paywall, but in case it's not, here is the link: http://www.vetsmall.theclinics.com/a...%2950603-8/pdf The table also indicates whether or not the titer test correlates with immunity for the various types of vaccinations. At the time this paper was released, there were no challenge studies available for the rabies vaccine. Schultz's current research (linked in a previous post) shows that rabies vaccine is good for at least five years, and the study is still ongoing. Not all titer tests are correlated with immunity based on challenge studies, so you have to be really careful in interpreting titer test results. (Somehow, we've drifted way off topic from dog flu, but that's okay.)

**not advocating skipping core vaccines, just saying that in most places your dog won't be euthanized for not being up to date on distemper, for example.

| True about rabies being the only one required by law. I mentioned the core vaccines because they are frequently given on the same schedule. Plus in some areas, it's almost a death sentence if you don't vaccinate for distemper, because it's endemic in wildlife.

And I just checked again tonight, Rabies and distemper are required for dogs in Washington, DC. (By 4 months of age).
