how often should a horses be vacinated?

Hi all question is in the title really.:D

Annually :) . Neither of mine were vaccinated when I bought them, so they had their first course of injections, which are a couple of months apart, and then our vet sends me a reminder every year to let me know that the booster is due.

depends what it's for

flu , once the initial ones are done is each year , tet every other year

strangles varies a bit depending on if infection is in the area, or what your particular vet prefers ,as then recommended more often & herpes is every 6 months i think

Before I got Mocha, she had a combined flu and tet jab documented on her passport for every year, so thats what I kept getting the vet to give her. Never really gave it much thought actually :confused: does tetanus only need to be given every second year?

[puzzles]

annually - ask your vet if you are stil confused/worried, or if you have an older/younger horse for more info.

You can get anti - tet that is given every 3 years.

Same as Chex, but ask your vet, as different makes of vaccine can vary.
