What I am quite sure they mean is that an anaphylactic reaction is rare. Individual vets do not see them often. I don't think they are trying to mislead you. Many people don't even let a vet know when there is discomfort at the site or mild symptoms of fever....there are many of them. NOT many serious reactions!!! I always report all reactions to my vet so that it can be noted in the pup's record. There are a couple of older ones that she recommended we not vaccinate again with DHPP because they had 24 hours of fever and screaming when touched. Strange reaction...kind of scary to me but still not anaplylactic in nature.
It is good that you ask for the vaccines to be separated. My vet does rabies first and then two weeks later the DHPP. Office visit is charged only the first time.
Not sure what you meant by the comment that I bolded....if you meant your vet or "they" as the AVMA or AAHA. This protocol has been in effect since 2011.....if your vet is not doing it, I would take him/her a copy of the AAHA guidelines and ask why.
