Dear Dr. "O",
Excellent article - I am surprised, but also NOT surprised, that the drug companies don't tell you that the vaccination protection may last 3 years. Do I assume that the best course of action after an initial vaccination and first yearly booster - is to blood test for immunity levels and then only re-vaccinate if the titers fall, or should your stallion be vaccinated every year just on general principles (note: we have ONLY bred AI with our colt) ?
Is it recommended then to also blood test your mares each year for their levels (after either natural exposure or vaccination), in case any immunity has worn off?
Thank you very much.

Concerning vaccine frequency I would carefully follow the recommendations in the article Susan. DrO |
