Dogs may be getting too many vaccines, vet specialist says (Arizona Daily Star)

WASHINGTON â?? Despite warnings that America’s dogs are being vaccinated too much and too often, most veterinarians continue the practice as a way to keep clients coming in the door, according to a leading animal immunologist.
Vaccines for rabies and three other major canine diseases â?? distemper, canine adenovirus-2 and canine parvovirus â?? should be given no more often than once every three years, said Ronald Schultz, a veterinary immunologist at the University of Wisconsin-Madison.
