Q

6 Objectives of vaccinating

A
  1. Vax as many as possible who are AT RISK
  2. Vax each individual no more frequently than necessary
  3. Vax only against agents that individuals are at risk of exposure
  4. Only vax against agents that cause significant disease
  5. Vax only when benefits outweigh risks
  6. Vax to protect human/public health

what is sterile immunity

A

when a vaccinated animal has no risk of developing illness because the vaccine is highly immunogenic (e.g. parvo, CDV)
