The horse`s age, level of activity and breed are taken into consideration when deciding what is appropriate, association authorities say.
The new guideline is a supplement to the association`s existing position that was released in 2001. To view recommendations, visit www.aaep.org/pdfs/AAEP_WNV_Guidelines_2005.pdf.
The task force is co-chaired by Robert Holland, DVM and Gordon Brumbaugh, DVM, researchers, vaccine manufacturers and private practitioners.
The task force stresses all vaccines should be evaluated based on the risk for disease, potential for adverse reactions to a vaccine, anticipated efficacy of the product and cost.
