West Nile vaccine

Postby griff » Wed Feb 11, 2009 3:32 pm

It's vaccination again and I am unsure what West Vile Virus vaccine to use..

Seems like I remember something about a modified live virus vaccine vs. killed virus vaccine discussion last year but can not remember the recommendations.

The order list I'm looking at is a year old but still lists three:

West Nile Vaccine D Ft Dodge
West Nile Recombitek Merial
Previnile West Nile Intervet

Or, others

Fort Dodge has a new DNA vaccine for West Nile.

If you choose not to use that, they now offer West Nile packed with EWT which is much more economical - then all you need is a Rhino/Flu.
