I vaccinate myself. I have fourteen horses and it would just be too 
expensive to have the vet do it. Honestly, the markup is pretty high; 
about $10 per vaccine. I buy multi-dose bottles, so the cost will be 
about $8.50 for the combo and $12 for WN if I buy it myself.

I don't feel too bad, as I also breed, so  my vet makes PLENTY of money 
off me in that dept <g>!
