I've researched it and it seems to me that the scientific studies support the idea that most vaccines are lifelong and only need to be given to puppies. Just like most human vaccines. I'm convinced the reason we have yearly vaccinations in dogs is because it makes the vaccine companies more money! |
Most states recommend every 3 years....unless, in an outbreak of rabies has occurred. Then the city/county will "recommend" that vaccine be given annually.
There is no difference between an annual or 3 year vaccine....just the way the certificate is filled out.
