The primary vaccine that causes "most" vaccine reactions is Leptospirosis. CheapShots does not give that vaccine and in most cases it is not needed. The "core vaccinations" used in veterinary medicine are DA2PP, Bordetella, and Rabies. It is highly unlikely that Rabies would cause an anaphylactic reaction as it is a killed vaccine while the rest are modified live or attenuated. I bet if you looked at the records you may find lepto in the vaccines given and that is the most likely reactant.
While it is true that most of the teaching veterinary hospitals are on a 3 year schedule for vaccines, regretfully a very small number of clinics have made that change. CheapShots is the ONLY vaccine service that gives a 3 year rabies vaccine to all the animals it vaccinates. A 3 year DA2PP is available however duration of efficacy for that time frame is questionable. CheapShots gives a 1 year DA2PP. The Bordetella vaccine should be given every 6 months, however few people are willing to follow this vaccination schedule and elect to give it once a year as well.
CheapShots is a way for people to afford the basic care and immunizations needed for their pets. I am proud of what we have accomplished as a service to the community. I don't work a weekend where someone doesn't thank me for our help and our kindness to their pets. In short ... it's made practicing fun again. Best Wishes to all and come say Hi to us on Friday April 29th at Lake Miona Rec Center Pavilion. We can watch the golfers splash golf balls together. ;-)
