Spring is vaccine season! UC Davis equine clinician and infectious disease expert Dr. Nicola Pusterla shares the latest on this important topic in the spring issue of the UC Davis Center for Equine Health’s Horse Report. The issue answers common questions about equine vaccines, including:
- What is a standard vaccination program for horses?
- Does my horse have to be vaccinated every year? What happens if my horse misses a year?
- Can I “check for titers” to determine if my horse needs to be vaccinated?
- Is it OK to change vaccine manufacturers?
The issue also features information on the West Nile virus, “10 Things You Might Not Know About Equine Vaccines”, and much more!
