I have heard that there have been many reports of problems with FERVAC.
Supposedly, as a result of the reports the dilutent was reformulated and
the frequency of problems has gone down.  (The vaccine is reconstituted
with a dilutent just before it is administered).  I don't have any hard
numbers, and certainly there is a chance of a reaction with *any* vaccine,
but many people feel more comfortable with FROMM-D.  I have used FERVAC
without incident many times and probably will continue to do so.
 
Pam Grant, of Pet Pals and S.T.A.R., circulated a survey some time ago on
just this topic.  Probably she is a very good source of further info.  You
listening Pam?  ;-)
