> by intranasal route (nose drops).
> Each vaccine has an approved mode of administration, determined by the

> A subcutaneous injection is commonly given in loose skin of the scruff
> area of the neck. There is no
> postvaccine soreness (although there can be mild itching), and it is an
> easily accessible area. These

> It is generally thought that intramuscular injections enter the blood

> two post vaccination. Some vaccines are required to be given this way.
>
> Intranasal administration is via nose drops. Only one vaccine (Bordetella
> bron-chiseptica) is available
> now in this form for dogs. This vaccine starts a very strong and effective
> immune reaction locally.
> For some vaccines, the injection location is optional--they may be given
> subcutaneously or
> intramuscularly. For other vaccines, the injection location is critical,
> and failure to follow the proper
> protocol could endanger the dog's health. It is extremely important to be
> sure of the proper injection site
> for a vaccine before attempting to inoculate a dog at home.
