Thanks!

Generally, the studies should be available by contacting the company or even by checking the website. Vaccine companies sometimes have the info in their press releases, as well as in their ads in veterinary journals. Let us know what you find out. Also, what has led you to consider the vaccines? I see that at least some of them appear to be the old Fort Dodge vaccines, which were with Pfizer for a while. Have you problems with them? TIA.

Re: Vaccine question

Boerhringer Ingelheim bought out the old Fort Dodge vaccine when they were split up. I believe its the same formula. Duramune Max is the name of the Distemper/Parvo etc combo.

Re: Vaccine question

Pfizer, which is now Zoetis, sells the Vanguard line of vaccines. BI bought the Fort Dodge crap.

To get some info on vaccines ( and other drugs) Google the Compendium of Veterinary Medicine. Bayer sponsors the online access. You can look up all licensed products there. If there was data showing anything (duration of immunity, overriding maternal antibodies, etc). submitted to the USDA, it will be listed on the labels there. If it is not listed there, the research hasn't been done.
