not anti-vax AT ALL. but i do think that they are a honey pot for most vets, and are given waaaaaay more often than need be. what human vax only lasts a year? none. at all. none.
just saw my own doc and talked about this. she has a few vax sensitive patients, and does titers for them. she says she routinely see good levels 20 years out for tetanus, tho the rec is 10 years.

i am wondering about vaccinating my very allergic dog. he is 1 1/2 years old, and allergic to a bunch of things. i am thinking we are going with rabies shot and that's it. he had all the required first year shots, and if his allergies get any worse i am going to have to keep him in a bubble.
