G'day Everyone,
Has anyone heard of/or used the new vaccine which only requires 2 vaccinations one at 6-8 weeks and the final at 10-12 weeks?
Our vet recommended this vaccine for our new weim pup.
Here is part of the information we received about it.
"The new vaccine has some major advantages: the first is that it overcomes the maternal immunity, so that the pup can repond fully to the vaccine as early as 10 weeks of age. So now a vaccination given at 10 to 12 weeks of age does not have to be repeated at 16 weeks. The pup just needs to come back after a yaer for its first annual booster. The second advantage is that after the first annual booster vaccination the C3 component of the vaccine lasts 3 years. The KC component still only lasts one year. SO your dog still needs to come in once a year, but the vaccination he receives will vary each year (one year C5, the following 2 years just KC, then C5 again)
In summary, The pup can have full adult protection at any age from 10 weeks on, and will need one less needle then previously. A week after this vaccination, they may then go to the park and socialise with other dogs quite safely. This new vaccine represents a huge innovation in the vaccination options we have for dogs and we believe is a quantum leap forward for the healt and well-being of your pet."
Does anyone have any advicee regarding this before we go ahead with it?
