    Re: [RC] West nile virus vaccine - Tara Wheeler


    I have five horses and live in Central Texas.  My horses range in age from a
    yearling to fifteen.   All have had three West Nile Virus shots (the two
    initial doses back in January and February and one booster dose about two
    weeks ago).
    
    Other than a little swelling at the injection site (and only on my very
    sensitive-skinned Arab) we have had *zero* reaction.
    
    I gave the last round of shots myself (after being coached by my vet) and it
    was slightly more difficult than worming (which is not a big deal out here).
    
    I don't know if the vaccine is effective, but it's all I have.  I will give
    a fourth shot if recommended to do so by my vet.
    
    This s**t scares me.
