There are now two WNV vaccines available for horses. Ask your veterinarian for their recommendation on vaccinating your horse for WNV. Because it is important to distinguish between vaccinated and infected horses, accurate vaccination records should be kept. Horses vaccinated against Eastern, Western, and Venezuelan equine encephalitis are not protected against infection with West Nile Virus.
