I suppose if I let my dogs run outside I would consider the vaccination but since mine are strictly house dogs I choose not to give the vaccination. I worry about the long term side effects of the vaccination.
The different strains is a very interesting point. How heartbreaking to take the risk of giving the shot and then have your beloved pet die anyway
