More Info
There is no doubt vaccinations have greatly reduced the incidence of life threatening diseases in horses. Tetanus, eastern viral encephalitis, western viral encephalitis and Venezuelan viral encephalitis are examples of diseases that have been greatly reduced in horses due to vaccination. But vaccinating is not a innocuous procedure. Local reactions that vary from mild soreness to full blown abscesses are possible. Systemic reaction from mild fever to life threatening anaphylactic reactions can occur. This article discusses these reactions, treatment, and prevention. Also discussed are the various vaccines propensity for causing reactions versus their efficacy.
