You were not the only one having a hard time finding out about the new vaccine. It took me 3 different phone calls, but I finally had a phone rep contact the technical services vet to find out what is going on. The vaccine is USDA approved. They are currently contacting each state to get each states approval to sell the vaccine. They expect the vaccine to be ready to go the week of Sept 10th! They plan on advertising this new distemper vaccine in several of the vet magazines. No letter writing needed, but you might want to contact them again in Sept about exact release date (and about advertising it in Modern Ferret magazine). Hope that helps, Jerry Murray, DVM [Posted in FML issue 3522]
