Shots for your Shelties

And all the other "preventable with vaccinations" diseases causes that people's pets have needlessly died from!

The rabies challenge is a study to show that the rabies vaccination allows for antibodies for seven years. They are in the fourth year of titering and everything is still good.
 
Good to know! I'm honestly not worried about their immune system as I'm confident one shot is enough as we only vaccinate our children usually once so why would I do my little dog every year? Seems redundant. Maybe every three year if their titer showed need but I've talked to people who did one set of shots the entire life and the titer was always high enough!

Actually, that is wrong about the one shot is enough for children.

Not true at all for most of the vaccines that kids get :wink2:

Just as a comparison, I have my pre-kindergarten vaccine records.

Polio vaccine - 5 doses in 5 years
MMR - one, at 18 months
DTP- 5 in 5 years

That's it! 11 total shots before kindergarten. Wonder what it is now?

Heavens! It's a miracle you survived all that. :wink2:

Here's the CDC website with the current recommended schedule ages 0-6 (and schedules for older kids, adolescents, and adults as well).

I count 26, not including the recommended yearly flu shot.

A LOT more than that :wink2: And a WHOLE lot more than what a dog gets:winkgrin:

Plus, the recommend yearly flu shots, pneumococal vaccine boosters, tetanus boosters, etc.

The comparison to people just did not make sense :no:

I counted way over 30 not including yearly flu. And a lot of the vaccines have to be given more than once.

Excellent point. 11 to over 30 in how many years? I have no idea how old you are, but going from 11 to almost 20 more shots in so many years is sickening. money money money is all i can say.

To be fair, have we ever stopped to test childrens' antibodies to these things we're vaccinating for or do we blindly follow the protocol? Is there any solid proof kids need multiple shots for one disease? If so, please show me!

I have no doubt, and am very confident that the protocols were designed after testing antibodies on children who were vaccinated. No, they don't test every child or adult for their antibodies now, but they do follow a protocol that was determined based on research.

I personally have no time to research this information for you :wink2: But since you are so passionate regarding this subject, it sounds like you have a research project on your hands!

Now....back to dogs please :winkgrin:
