dog vaccinations

[ArkRescue]

By law, Rabies used to be a yearly vaccine. Now you do it 1st year, then 2nd year you can get a 3 year vaccine. Now is there a difference in the 1 year and the 3 year other than the name?

Also people need to understand that if you don't take your pet on time for the 3 year vaccine, they give you the 1 year again.

I was unable to get vaccine info. from the Pom owner, so we had to go with a 1 year Rabies.

I have heard that the three year Rabies causes Cancer. I forget who told me that. I take my animals in before their Immunizations are due, so that they don't catch something by being on-time. It's a damn if you do, or damn if you don't situation.

BUT is there a difference between the substance of the 2 shots? Does the 3 year inject MORE or is it a "booster" or a different type of vaccine, or what?

stop that! After that cat bite I had, the Dr. said I had to have a Tetnus shot - was the 1st one I knew I had as an adult so bad on ME, I KNOW. What else are adults supposed to get?

Rabies Vaccinations Explained

Okay so I looked online and found this:

"Question: What's the difference between a one and three year rabies vaccine?

This question came up on Twitter: "I do not understand why I can get a 3 year vaccine in Wisconsin and only a one year in Illinois for my dog."
Answer:

The answer is that when using an adjuvanted vaccine* approved for 3 years, there is no difference as far as local laws are concerned. What makes the rabies vaccination "good" for one year or three years is determined by two things:

1) the animal's age and rabies vaccine history
2) if the state and municipal laws require annual vaccinations for rabies.

Dogs and cats are first vaccinated for rabies between 4 and 6 months of age. They need a booster one year from that date. They are then vaccinated every three years, although some states still require annual rabies vaccinations for dogs and/or cats. Again, it is the same vaccine in all cases, but the time it is "good" for is dependent on these factors."

its cheaper for vets to just buy the rabies vac 3... it can be given at 3-4 months for the first year.. and also for the 3 yr as well

several makers do make a 1 yr shot but its not cost effective for vets to purchase it.

more vets are using the 1 yr for cats

and I was talking about ALL shots we got when we were a child.... why dont we get those each year?

I have a hard time finding vets that stock the long acting antibiotic injections because of their cost. Last one cost me $80 for 1 shot, but if you have a cat just can't/or don't want pill, it's a big help.

One vet told me it costs him $300 a bottle and some months he doesn't even use enough out of it to justify the cost of buying fresh stock to have on hand all the time.
