I don't know. If your horses are vaccinated, then
they should be protected, therefore is shouldn't be a waste of money. However,
you are giving your horse a dose of WNV when you vaccinate. But, when the
vaccine came out, the info I read said only about 100 horses had been tested.
That is not a very high number for vaccine testing.
I would check out the websites I listed and see
what else you can find out about some statistics on horses that have been
vaccinated. And of course, talk to your vet. I am only passing on the
information that I got from this seminar.
All we can do is get as much info as possible to
make the best educated decisions. That is all we can do.

we suspect our horse has WNV?
Even horses who received the vaccination
have gotten seriously ill and or died. Overall though, any horse is at
risk.
Then what's the point
of the shots? I've vaccinated my entire herd with the original shot and
the 4 week booster. Was this just a waste of money?
