The first FNW ferret to receive this new vaccine >had an immediate reaction... 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? ;-) Bill [Posted in FML issue 0584]
