Started with that and then went to Texas A&M's statement, Texas Administrative Code "result"(haven't located the specific code covering anything but rabies which basically says the 1 or 3 year vax ok(no difference so why the code language but if you've read much of the TAC that is no surprise) and on from there to articles you all have posted and those searched. From what I have read and been able to absorb to date, I just don't yet have the assurance that the titer levels are the sole factor to be considered in predicting immunity, need to read way more and ask questions of vets working in vaccine immunity studies and more real-world vets. Am so worried that Tibbe's existing titers may address only disease strains as of his last vaccinations should we stop for a bit and no mutations which might be picked up in newer vaccines. See? I don't even know about how the vaccines are made yearly! But as I read how many critters are coming into suburbia with their ?maybe? newer or mutated strains of things and potentially infect animals Tibbe could come into contact with, I wonder if I have to worry about that. The reason I am hesitant to change yet is that I haven't yet seen anyone make the flat out statement supported by available documenting long-term studies with provenance WE can read that previously vaccinated animals haven't ticked up in the diseases now that they don't get yearly boosters. Maybe that is out there and I missed it. I just don't know enough yet. |
