Vaccines are a way of introducing antigen into the body to stimulate the immune system as a defense of the particular disease. All pets do need to be vaccinated for rabies where it is legal because it is a disease that can be transferred from animals to people and keeps millions of pets safe, also.
Dr. Knueven invites people to e-mail questions with your first name and hometown to: letters@edgarcayce.org. If your question is chosen, Dr. Knueven will answer it in a future column.
In closing Dr. Knueven comments: "I believe that every pet needs its basic distemper vaccine. This needs to be boostered several times in puppies and kittens to insure immunity. After a year of age, the distemper vaccine in both dogs and cats has been proven to last four to seven years. That is correct, it has now been scientifically proven that yearly vaccination for distemper is unnecessary.
