Re: [RC] West Nile - Susan Garlinghouse, DVM

 People are being gouged.  A local rancher got his for $4/shot

from somewhere in Texas (I'm in NM).  My regular vet offered me WNV

vaccine

for $25/shot.


Prices may have differed since last spring, but the last time I bought a
10-dose vial of WNV vaccination at the VTH's cost, it was about
$112---$11.20 per dose.  Add in cost of the needle and syringe ( a few
cents), plus a normal non-retirement-padding-non-gouging markup, and you're
probably somewhere around $18-20.

I haven't a clue where anyone could have gotten vaccine for $4 a dose.  I
sorta wonder if the vaccine was really WNV, or just pink lemonade in a vial.
