Over many years I have experienced too many vaccination reactions when multiple vaccines are all given at once, especially in elderly horses. I pay extra now for single vaccines so I can spread them out over several weeks.

Why give something too often if it can cause problems for that reason?

As the owner of an elderly horse with DSLD/ESPA I prefer to spread all the vaccine out over time.

All vaccines must be available individually - period! Manufacturers need to leave the almighty dollar aside and do what's best for the animal. What happened to the oath - do no harm?

I lost a horse a few years ago who had a reaction to her vaccines. She was only 4 years old and was in good health prior to the vaccines. Owners should know what is in their vaccines and be able to get vaccines with only what they want in the vaccine.

Single vaccines are so important for many situations. It is frustrating to need one and then find out its not available.

We really should be able to get these vaccines separately. Some horses are too sensitive, and some of the vaccines are not necessary every year.

Yes, as horse owners, we need full disclosure about what is in vaccines and need vaccines available for each specific disease, not multi-vaccine combos that don't give us much choice.

It makes very good sense to be able to choose when and why to give tetenus shots.

I am in favor of an EEE/WEE vaccine without Tetanus. Thank you in advance for your attention/consideration to this very important need.

We need single vaccines. There is no good reason for a horse to have to receive two vaccinations of tetanus each year, simply because it's included with the vaccines for EE/WEE.

Need to have single vaccines offered as I don't always want to give a combo shot.

Please help us in this matter. It take forever to get any help for our equine friends.

I'm in complete agreement with Dr Kellon. There are too many side effects of all vaccines. Owners should be able to dictate which ones they want to subject their horses to.

My two horses got such severe reactions from vaccines it scared the crap out of me. We need vaccines separated out so we can spread out shots.

I support the need for an EEE/WEE vaccine without Tetanus. Tetanus only needs to be given every 10 years. This is making us over vaccinate our horses.

I opt for the encephalitis vaccine to NOT have tetanus. I only get one every TEN years!

Thank you for your consideration with regards to having an equine encephalitis only inoculation.
