There seems to be a lot of different opinions about how soon the horse can go back to regular work after being vaccinated. What would be a good guideline providing that the horse is not showing an elevation in body temperature or any other adverse reaction to the inoculation ?

I would keep it light for 3 days but there is no reason they cannot work the next day if there are no symptoms of soreness. In fact work may minimize the soreness.

Ah, this is just what I wanted to ask. So, light exercise is ok the day after an influenza/tetanus vaccination?
I have been told that horses must be prevented from any activity which would make them sweat after a 'flu shot? Is this true?
Many thanks for your time

Catrine, you are right, there are a lot of opinions about this. I have always thought that it was because every horse is different and the vaccines also can produce different effects. I know the few times I have had tetanus it hurts like heck for at least a day or two. I always wonder why the horses don't get as sore from this one.
I have a friend whose horse can hardly put his head down to eat after certain vaccines(can't remember which). I usually ride mine after, I just take it easy. I have never had a sore horse, or at least that I could tell. Good question.
