Vaccine Tophat Questions

Four considerations when customizing a vaccine plan

1.) disease

2.) vaccine

3.) client

4.) patient

Disease considerations

-how common is it in the community/herd?

-consequences of the disease

-how contagious is the disease?

Vaccine considerations

-type of vaccine (killed or modified live)

-time of onset of immunity

-safety and potential adverse reactions

-efficacy

-route of administration

-storage requirements

Patient considerations

-species and breed

-age

-sex

-prior vaccine history

-recent exposure

-pregnancy status

-animal's purpose or use

-impact on meat quality

Client considerations

-cost of vaccine

-cost of disease

-vaccine concerns

-ability to provide other prevention measures
