WHVC Vaccine Protocols
(based on AVMA & AAHA Recommendations)

These are general vaccination guidlines that are used when designing a plan for the optimal health of each patient. Not all vaccines are necessary for all pets and overall health and environment are considered before vaccination.

Also keep in mind that vaccine antibody titers are available to determine the strength of existing immunity before boostering some vaccinations.
