(Some vaccines cover all four serovars while others cover only two out of four.) As a result of long standing use of this vaccine, it is hard to assess how important it is to vaccinate against leptospirosis. Most recent outbreaks involve serovars for which vaccination does not exist.

Thank you! The vet said it's prevalent in our area, that's why she recommended, but I will surely bring this to the appointment. Thanks again!
