General information on vaccination protocols and effects

In response to growing concerns about vaccination protocols, the American Animal Hospital Association (AAHA) set up a Canine Vaccination Taskforce. That Taskforce issued its Report in 2003. The Taskforce reconvened in 2005 to re-examine and revise the Guidelines to reflect changes in areas of canine vaccines. The full reports are available online:-

In 2004, 31 British veterinarians wrote a letter to their Veterinary Journal in which they collectively spoke out against over-vaccinating companion animals. That letter was published. The controversy 'leaked' to a major Dog magazine and subsequently reached Britain's mainstream media. Details, including the unedited letter, can be seen at this link:
