I just had the mares vaccinated for WNV yesterday. It was their first shot, we have to get a second and then a booster every year. Both mares were fine after getting it. It cost me $25 per shot per mare. I am glad I went ahead and had it done.. She said that they expected it to hit CA by next spring. I am VERY happy that I got it done. Now if they only had a vaccine for humans. ----- Original Message ----- From: Ridecamp Guest Sent: Wednesday, August 14, 2002 8:27 PM To: ridecamp@xxxxxxxxxxxxx Subject: [RC] West nile virus vaccine Becky Prunty bprunty@xxxxxxxxx
Have any of you vaccinated for West Nile Virus? If so any reactors or problems with the vaccine? We have confirmed cases of West Nile very close to us with one equine death. I tend to be very cautious about vaccinations and especially new products. I had a dog with one of those "rare" reactions to the Frontline product with seizures occuring within three hours of using the product. We almost lost her and she still has to be on seizure medication. I want to protect my horses but I'm scared to try the relatively new vaccine. Anyone out there who has info please let us know. Thanks!
