Kate,

If you click on this link http://www.yorkietalk.com/forums/yor...ions-dogs.html you will be taken to a post I made on the 2008 Journal of the Veterinary Medical Association detailing the various types of adverse reactions to the rabies vaccine reported during a 3 year period.

You should be aware that by combining shots at one visit, you not only increase the likelihood of an adverse reaction, but you also increase the likelihood that the vaccine components will interfere with one another and neutralize or negate the immunological response. Dr. Ronald Schultz of the University of Wisconsin School of Veterinary Medicine states that the rabies vaccine should never been given with any other vaccines.

October-December 2007, Vol. 26, #3 Journal of American Holistic Veterinary Medical Association, Summary of a Presentation by Dr. Ron Schultz written by Patricia Monahan Jordan, DVM, "Rabies is also the vaccine most likely to lead to an ADVERSE EVENT.....You should NEVER give Rabies at the same time as the other vaccines."

Vaccination Options/Prevention It should be noted that giving vaccine more frequently than every 2 weeks will cause interference between the two vaccines and neither can be expected to be effective. This includes giving vaccines for different infections. Vaccines should be spaced 2-4 weeks apart.

Combination Vaccines, Multiple Shots--on Page 16 of the[i 2003 AAHA Guidelines[/i] under Immunological Factors Determining Vaccine Safety, it states that: "Although increasing the number of components in a vaccine may be more convenient for the practitioner or owner, the likelihood for adverse effects may increase. Also, interference can occur among the components. Care must be taken not to administer a product containing too many vaccines simultaneously if adverse events are to be avoided and optimal immune responses are sought. "
