Vaccinations



Would some of the experienced breeders on the list give me your opinions of the necessity/advisability  of vaccinating pregnant mares for the benefit of the foal's immunity?  I thought that a foal naturally obtained its first immunities from the mare.  However, I'm being advised by my vet to give the mare a series of vaccinations for the immunity they will provide the foal at birth. 
 
I'm hesitant about this since I'm one who uses very few drugs/vaccines with my horses, and routinely vaccinate only for tetanus and encephalitis strains.
 
Thanks,
Betty Edgar
