Gus got the lepto vaccine, & Borrelia at the same time. He had no reaction to the shots.

The lepto vaccine is good for 1 year. Would the second shot, one year after the first, be considered a booster?

He was tested for lepto a couple of months after the vaccine, & the antibodies were present for several stains of lepto.
