Does everyone get their horses vaccinated for rabies? ?I'm asking, because I don't know of any vets around here that include a rabies vaccine in their normal protocol. ?I just looked up the web site of one of the vets in this area, and the recommended vaccines are:
?? 5-way (1/yr), Flu/Rhino(2/yr), West Nile(2/yr)

I had my Vet check this out with the manufacturer just last week, as we have been?operating on the assumption that Rab Vac 3 was good for three years.? The manufacturer said NO, that horses metabolize the vaccine too quickly and that all equines needed an annual rabies vaccine for protection.

Just wondering if anyone has info about the necessity of horses getting vaccinated every year rather than every two or 3 years for rabies. The following info is regarding dogs.
