When I was at the vets last time for vaccines, there was a little dog figure drawn in their charts and the point of vaccination was clearly marked on the diagram, so that future vaccines will be given in a different spot. They are also giving more vaccines in the leg, because if cancer does develop, the leg can be easily amputated, thereby stopping the progression of the cancer.

That is a truly scarey thought.
