Are booster shots necessary?
Protection against infectious diseases wanes after some time. To ensure continuous protection, your pet must receive booster vaccinations annually.
Is vaccination effective?
Modern veterinary vaccines are safe and have a very high level of efficacy. However, vaccination is most efficacious in healthy animals. A protective immune response may not be elicited if animals are incubating an infectious disease, are stressed or otherwise immune-compromised.
Why should pets receive vaccinations?
Puppies and kittens are exposed to infectious diseases early in life. Therefore, they should receive vaccinations before they are exposed. In puppies, vaccinations can start from six weeks in age and in kittens, from eight weeks of age. In special cases, vaccination may start earlier than this age. Normally, your pet will receive a series of injections to complete primary vaccination. Rabies vaccine may be administered starting three months of age.
Why do pets need vaccinations?
