Sample Vaccination Schedule
Consult with your veterinarian to determine your horse's vaccination schedule; individual needs vary. Infectious disease control programs in conjunction with vaccination are important in maximizing the health, productivity and performance of your horse. These programs reduce exposure to infectious agents in your horse's environment. Disease control programs should be tailored to the individual farm with consideration given to age, type, activity and number of horses.
