How often should a horse be vaccinated?

In: Care of Horses, Veterinary Medicine [Edit categories]

Answer:

That depends on the geographic location of the horse, use of the horse, age of the horse, previous reaction to vaccines, concurrent medical conditions and the diseases that a horse needs to be vaccinated against because of those different risk factors. Because there is no "one-size-fits-all" vaccination program for horses, you should always contact your veterinarian to discuss the specifics of your horse's situation and formulate and appropriate vaccination program for the individual horse.

Horses may need to be vaccinated as frequently as every 3 months for certain diseases or as infrequently as yearly for others.
