After going through EHV-1 lockdown in the SF Bay Area last spring, the vets 
were saying that this particular strain of EHV-1 is not affected by the 
vaccine.  So I don't know why they are vaccinating, unless they have a new 
vaccine available.

We were also on a voluntary quarantine for strangles a couple of months ago 
at my boarding facility.

And it's also been a bad pigeon fever year this year.

Sigh.
