It's a shame the UK hasn't adopted Dr. Dodd's vaccination protocol like the majority of vet schools here in the US have. W Jean Dodds Vaccine Protocol VACCINATION PROTOCOLS |
I'm only going by what happens here in the UK. I've had dogs for over 30 years and it used to be 3 injections but it has been 2 injections for about the last 10 years. Everyone in the Uk is told that it is safe to go out 2 weeks after the last injection.
