Note: This schedule is one I recommend and should not
be interpreted to mean that other
protocols recommended by a veterinarian would be less
satisfactory. It's a matter of
professional
judgment and choice. The following protocol is
offered for those dogs where minimal vaccinations
are advisable or desirable. For all other dogs, the
1999 protocol is still applicable.

______________________________________________________________________________________________
Do vaccine titers
for Distemper and Parvovirus annually there after.
Vaccinate for Rabies according
to the law, except when
circumstances indicate that a vaccine waiver be obtained
from the primary
veterinarian. In that
case, a Rabies titer can also be performed to accompany the
waiver request.
