Dogs and cats are over vaccinated

Recent studies show many shots last a lifetime just as in people.  The AVMA conducted a study (AVMA Council on Biologic & Therapeutic Agents - COBTA).  Here are some statements from the conclusion of this study:  There is no scientific data to support label directiions for re-administering modified live vaccines annually.  The practice of re-vaccinating animals annually is largely based on historic precedent supported by no scientific data.  There’s increasing evidence that vaccines provide immunity way beyond one year.  Repeating vaccines in adult, previously vaccinated animals does not provide added protection and may expose animals to unnecessary risk. Then the AVMA chickened out and left the decision of how often to revaccinate up to the individual vet and almost all are still insisting it needs to be done yearly.  They can’t let go of that cash cow!!!

There is even a dog vaccine (corona virus) for a disease that doesn’t exist. Adult rabies vaccinations should last 3 years for both dogs & cats. None of the 27 veterinary colleges recommend vaccinating dogs for Lime disease because the side effects are more of a threat than the disease.   A new book “How to Afford Veterinary Care without Mortgaging the Kids” by Dr. Busby explains this & much more.
