It's really hard, bc we all want something definitive, something we don't have to doubt or wonder about. Personally, I get my security from trusting the DOI (duration of immunity) research -- I do think it's very reliable research. The AAHA seems to do a pretty good job of getting the recommendations out there. Much of the DOI research even leans toward lifetime DOI, so it makes ya wonder why we're even doing it every 3-5 years. But, change takes time, I suppose. I bet one day they'll trust lifetime DOI on some of the vax.
I was thinking about my own vaccinations today and got to thinking...hmmm, why do I trust I'm still immune anyway? It's like I automatically trust the human side, but am way more scared on the canine side. I guess I take it for granted that we've done all the right testing on the human side of things. But I honestly do not even know!
