Here is some new and interesting information about PHF. First, Dr.
Schultz from Wisconsin Vet School and who is one of the top veterinary
immunologists in the country feels that the PHF vaccine is a wasted
vaccine. It doesn't really protect a horse; he feels that if a horse is
susceptible he is going to get it no matter what you do.

Second, a recent study in Virginia looked at risk factors for colic in
over 1000 horses over a year's time and found that vaccinations in
general raised the risk of colic 2 times. PHF vaccinations raised it
6.8 times. Their statistics were sound in this study and it is a large
population.
