i haven't read all the post but some..
i my self do and will continue to vaccine yearly (sometimes every 18 months) i will not risk my puppies health for some new wave of "dont vaccinate" i dont go for all this new stuff...holistic, raw, dont vaccinate, dont do this..do that..its a fad
vaccinating has been a constant in the pet world..and a new research for "now" will not change my opinion..10 years down the road from this new developement will be sad stories of pets not having built up immune systems and catching diseases and dying..i will continue with what i know works
just like the microwave one decade it gives you cancer the next it doesnt..
i just cant wrap my head around not vaccinating..maybe an older dog that has been vaccinated all its life, its not necessary but puppies to young adults? most definitely should be vaccinated
let me ad what we vaccinations we do
Rabies every 3 yrs
Distemper/parvo 5 or 7 in one every year to a year n a half
i dont believe in multiple vacs in the same visit

Kids, and babies, are usually vaccinated, yes, but not EVERY YEAR. At least nobody I know. You get the usual shots as a baby, up until 2-3 yrs old and then get a shot before starting grade school, and then maybe before starting middle school. My last shot was probably when I was like 9 or 10 and I'm now almost 20. No human that I know gets vaccines every year, unless people do the flu shot, but most I know don't even do that. Titers prove that there is still vaccine in a dogs system
years after their 1 year boosters... so I don't know what 'fad' that is, it's more like
fact.

and what about regulations.rules. laws?
rabies is mandatory
bordatella got to have that for boarding and some groomers
the 5-7 in one..i think you have to have that for surgeries, and to receive the other vaccines..like the bordatella and rabies

The *only* vaccine required my LAW is rabies. Bordatella is optional; I chose to give it to Jackson a few months ago because he had kennel cough last year and I'd prefer to prevent it, since we frequent the dog park and are always around other dogs. He got DHLPP at 12 weeks old and had a terrible reaction to Lepto (he's also bigger, was 6lbs at 12 weeks old). So he got DHPP for his third and final puppy shot. Then we went back at 1 year old, and got the DHPP booster. My vet told me it's good for 3 years, sooo... I don't know about this every year stuff. Even when we had dogs growing up, they never got them every year, it was always every 3 years, as is Rabies. But the others are not required by law.
