VACCINATIONS FOR ADULT HORSES
**ALL
**
VACCINATION PROGRAMS SHOULD BE DEVELOPED IN CONSULTATION WITH A LICENSED VETERINARIAN
CORE VACCINATIONS protect against diseases that are endemic to a region, are virulent/highly contagious, pose a risk of severe disease, those
having potential public health significance, and/or are required by law. Core vaccines have clearly demonstrable efficacy and safety, with a high
enough level of patient benefit and low enough level of risk to justify their use in all equids.
