>my vet tech friend was telling some of the people with us that >they shouldn't vaccinate their dogs any more. They had older dogs. She >explained that once they get that certain amount of vaccine (just like >people 1 vaccine and 1 booster) they are vaccinated for life. Hi Beth-- I personally believe that also; I don't vaccinate my older cats past a certain age (except 3 year rabies); my ferrets are middle age or younger so I still get regular vaccinations for them. Vaccines can bring up some strong feelings from people who have very different philosophies. The best thing I can suggest is to read up on the issue and make your own decisions. Below are some links to holistic health sites; they may or may not talk about vaccines, but they will give you plenty of places to start learning about different ways to look at medicine. I think it's up to each person to make their own well-informed decision.
