Re: RC: West Nile vaccine. should we be using it?

[Julie Coats <Julie_Coats@ncsu.edu>]

All my horses got the first one yesterday.
$20/shot

3 x   first one, then one in a month, then one 2 mos from that.

Kindly costly, but next year it will just be the booster.
My vet. highly recommended it and vaccinated all
her own horses with.
(BTW, she is also a board certified equine vet)
