And the hype is real! When the outbreak happened in another state (though the
next one over) back in April, we had a client who was terrified of CIV, so much
so that they didn’t bring their 2 puppies in for their regular vaccines! They
have since gone onto another clinic, one who still pushes yearly vaccination
and surely gave those two young puppies the CIV vaccination series— back when
it still cost about $100 per shot! Almost forgot to mention that these are
dogs who don’t leave their home/backyard except for coming to visit the
veterinarian….
People ARE falling for the hype, even in our little community that didn’t have
CIV within 200 miles of us!

"Our leading premier veterinary immunologist and vaccine researcher, Dr. Ron
Schultz, has already informed us that the only reason there even was a canine
flu……….is the use and overuse of the vaccine in horses for the horse flu!”

I notice that the news article says NOTHING about the fact that the vaccine
is a “series”- one injection, wait 4 weeks, get a second, and then,
protection begins 7-14 days after the second injection… so takes 6 weeks to
be protected from this particular strain of flu.
So, no, we’re not recommending it at our clinic here in central WI- only 3
hours away from where the “big outbreak” was…
And, my thought is that flu viruses mutate all the time. How long will this
particular vaccine warrant protection, and how much protection would be
given, IF ANY, if the new mutation of H3N8 that now has a vaccine were to
mutate again?
Just sayin’,….

….. Now, a vaccine for canine influenza virus H3N2 has received conditional
approval from the United States Department of Agriculture
<http://www.usda.gov/>, which expedites licensing in emergency situations
to avert epidemics. As the holiday travel season approaches, the question
is: Should you get your dog vaccinated? …..
