It will be interesting to see what the challenge study shows. |
Agree
.
Plus, the titer results (in and of themselves) don't mean a whole lot. It's really the challenge that that will have meaning. In practice, titers are only accurate in as far as they may help confirm whether or not a dog has had a vaccine....titers do not confirm/prove immunity to the disease.
