Adults are not as susceptible to it. If your dog has the parvo booster at one year old, it will still be in their systems years later. Re-vaccinating over and over again does nothing - your dog is not ANY more protected getting vaccines every year than if they got them every 3 years for example. Because it's the SAME exact vaccine. There is no difference between "1 year" or "3 year" or whatever. So getting your dogs vaccinated every year is not protecting them in any way and all you are doing is adding unnecessary chemicals into their body year after year. Boosters don't booster anything. You are either immune or you aren't. Have you had any of your infant and childhood shots boostered to protect you further from diseases? Most likely not... because you are still immune.
