IS THERE A VACCINE THAT PROTECTS AGAINST THE STRAIN OF EQUINE HERPES THAT IS KILLING HORSES?
There have been claims that certain modified-live Rhino vaccines protect horses from the neurological strain of the Equine Herpesvirus-1 that has recently killed several horses. According the California Department of Agriculture as well as UC Davis, these claims are false. There is no product on the market that is labeled to protect against this neurological strain of Equine Herpesvirus-1. We currently vaccinate with the Ft. Dodge Flu/Rhino vaccine that protects your horse from the EHV-1 and EHV-4. You can find more information on the following website: http://www.cdfa.ca.gov/ahfss/ah/equine_herpes_virus.
