Unfortunately, Doctors have to practice legal medicine. This means that many will run every test in the book, recommend every medicine, vaccine, etc. which you may require. Even in animals we are required by legally to recommend many vaccines on an annual basis...reason is that on the labels the manufacturer's recommend annual vaccines. The FDA requires vaccine manufacturers to indicate their vaccine will produce immunity for at least one year. The FDA has no provision for manufacturers to do long term studies...for example...does a vaccine actually work for the life of the pet??? Many probably do. Any way...I am against vaccinations unless as indicated below...you have the right wound or exposure for the disease... The chances of getting tetanus from a surface wound is almost nil.... Dr/ Dave

Marshall, Marshall, think of how many employees would lose their jobs, Stock Prices in Med companies falling............. doing things like this could cause chaos in the biggest financial market in the world!
