Vaccination Information
I want preface this section to again state that Spellbound
Collies is not endorsing any one platform or making any health or
medical recommendations. This information is being
presented to give you a well-rounded viewpoint of animal
health. We hope you will review and consider this
information to make educated and informed decisions.
The AVMA Council on Biologics and Therapeutic Agents
(COBTA) presented their consensus at the July, 2000 137th Annual
AVMA Convention. They focused on the following points:
| When an annual booster vaccination
with a modified live virus vaccine (i.e. Distemper ,
Parvovirus or Fe Distemper) is given to a previously
vaccinated adult animal - no added protection is
provided. Modified live virus vaccines depend on the
replication of the virus for a response. Antibodies from
previous vaccines do not allow the new virus to
replicate. Antibody titers are not boosted , more memory
cells are not induced. No additional protection is
provided.(23) |
| * Vaccine Manufacturers label claims should
be backed by scientific data. There is no scientific
data to support label directions for
re-administration of MLV vaccines annually.(23) |
| Vaccinations are important for the
prevention of diseases. Annual physical exams at
the time of vaccination help improve health by the early
detection of treatable disease and contribute to the
overall quality of life. |
| Vaccines are not
harmless. Unnecessary side effects and adverse events
can be minimized by avoiding unnecessary vaccinations. |
| Virus drift is small. There are no
new parvovirus strains and the virus in the vaccine has
remained essentially the same. |
| Average pets are similar enough in their
exposure to infectious disease and in their response to
vaccines that we can have a Standard recommended
Vaccination Protocol. |
| The AVMA Council for Biologics and
Therapeutic Agents COBTA urges the USDA, Center for
Veterinary Biologics to revise its standards
for the licensing of animal vaccines and the USDA. CVB
has agreed that this should be done. |
| Veterinarians need a standard procedure to
report adverse events from vaccinations. |
Catherine
O’Driscoll has published an insightful book on
the perils of vaccinating your pets (which I have read).
She has become a leader in the movement to not vaccinate at
all. I present the
following article for your review. The opening
comments represent several opinions on vaccinations from vets and
medical experts throughout the country. The later part
deals with Catherine’s thoughts, philosophies and
recommendations.
One of the leaders in vaccination research is Dr. Jean Dodds.
She is one of the pioneers in recognizing the dangers of
over-vaccinating an animal and has made strides at bringing this
information to the attention of the medical experts who are
embracing her research. Many veterinarian colleges are
changing their position on vaccinations. Here
is a reprint of her revised vaccination
protocol. Please note that we are not endorsing this.
We are offering it as an alternative approach; amongst other
articles presented here.
I personally do not follow this regime. I do NOT give more
than one type of vaccination at any given time; (i.e. when a
parvo vaccination is given - no others are given at that time)
and I would never give a Combo shot. I also only use
‘killed’ vaccine.
