WHAT WEST NILE VACCINE DOES ECLAP RECOMMEND?
We carry the Ft. Dodge West Nile Virus Vaccine and recommend a booster every 6 months. Research trials indicate the vaccine is 97% effective given once a year. Since we are still in an outbreak situation (ECLAP has treated two cases this fall), we are following the State Veterinarian and UC Davis recommendations to give a booster vaccination every 6 months. Feel free to call our office if you have questions. There are new West Nile Vaccines on the market touted as better, or longer lasting. So far, we feel their claims are marketing ploys and we will be staying with Ft. Dodges time tested product.
