Absolutely. Same for tetanus, it's essential. But flu vaccinations
every SIX MONTHS as required for all FEIF competitions??? The mind
boggles!

I've never heard of flu vaccine being required for a competition, but
on the other hand, any of my horses that go to competitions or group
camping have always gotten a flu booster every six months. It is my
understanding is that that vaccine doesn't hold its effectivity for the
whole year. (Just had the vet out to give 6-way and rabies to the whole
gang: no discernable reactions from anyone.)
