I could be wrong, but that's what I remember the chart saying. Titers can give information as to whether a dog has ever been vaccinated, but doesn't really say much about cellular immunity.

A dog can show zero antibodies (humoral immunity), but actually have cellular immunity.
A dog can show having humoral immunity (the antibodies), but have no cellular immunity.
So, all titers reallllly do is help to confirm whether a dog has been vaccinated.
I administered vaccinations on puppies by 2 different manufactures....did titers showed one without immunity and the other with adequate immunity. Whether or not it had to do with the manufacturer....I'm not sure.

I'll do a comparison on the past chart I have and this one.....you could be right.

What I found interesting is that she does reference California, but then again since she's in Santa Monica that's why.
