Annual Booster Vaccination: People in the UK are not vaccinated every
year because the risk of disease is relatively low, and because large
numbers of people are vaccinated at the same time, e.g. at school.
Unfortunately, only about 50% of dogs and cats are properly vaccinated,
and therefore the risk of disease outbreaks in pets is much higher. Dogs
can also become infected from the urine and faeces of rats and foxes.
In some countries of the world where killer diseases are still common,
human vaccinations are given much more frequently than in the UK.
Revaccination stimulates the immune response so that protection is
maintained for another year. Without these yearly vaccinations, your
pet´s immune system may not be able to protect it from serious, often
fatal disease.
