1 Vaccinating Shelter Animals: Why, What, Who, When, Where Becky DeBolt, DVM UT College of Veterinary Medicine Clinical Assistant Professor Shelter Medicine

2 Today s Agenda Why Are vaccines so important in shelter animals What Are vaccines Core vaccines Who to vaccinate When Timing Adults vs Juveniles Preparation Where

3 WHY

4 About Vaccinations Reduce severity and duration of disease Prevent disease Provide individual protection Provide herd immunity

5 Stressful WHY THE INDIVIDUAL New Animals Daily Vulnerable Many Animals High Risk of Disease Exposure

6 WHY HERD IMMUNITY

7 DiGangi 2012 <50% cats entering shelters have antibody to panleukopenia OUR HERD: NOT Vaccinated Lechner % dogs entering N Florida shelter had protective antibody titers against parvo 43.2% had protection against distemper 64.5% are vulnerable to one or both diseases Perrone 2012 certain groups, such as shelter dogs, a sizeable number of animals may not be immune to CDV.

8 WHAT

9 Modified live viruses (MLV) WHAT is a vaccine DA2PP FVRCP

10 WHAT is a vaccine Bordetella Intranasal Also MLV Immunity at the location of entry The Critical Role of Mucosal Immunity for Protection Against Bordetella bronchiseptica: Rationale for Intranasal and Oral Vaccines CAROL REINERO, DVM, DACVIM, PHD

11 WHAT Vaccines to Give Core Shelter Vaccines Dog DA2PP (MLV) Bordetella, Parainfluenza (intranasal) Rabies Cat FVRCP (MLV) Rabies FeLV (if in group housing)

12 WHAT??!! Within hours!!! How Quickly Do They Work? Immunity in 72 HOURS

13 Dog Vaccines Not Used in Shelters Too long to take effect Not true risk to our population Limited effect against disease Canine Influenza Virus Canine Coronavirus (GI strain) Leptospirosis Lyme vaccine Rattlesnake vaccine Injectable Bordetella

14 WHO

15 DA2PP and FVRCP WHO to vaccinate with DA2PP and FVRCP Any cat or dog over 4 weeks old If injured -> vaccinate If sick -> vaccinate If pregnant -> vaccinate & spay asap Unless a legal case Catster

16 WHO to vaccinate with Bordetella Bordetella Puppies: 3 weeks old and up Injured Sick Pregnant

17 Temp over (vaccine may not work) Who NOT to vaccinate Too sick to vaccinate = too sick to be in the shelter

18 WHEN

19 At the moment of intake WHEN to vaccinate Every time No exceptions!

20 Bordetella (intravnasal or oral) > 3 wks old -> at intake Dogs< 6wks old: repeat in 2 weeks Dogs >6wks old: annual Dog Schedule DA2PP (MLV) > 4 wks old -> at intake Adult -> repeat in 2 weeks Puppy -> repeat every 2 weeks until 18 wks old (adult K9 teeth in) Rabies >12 wks old At intake or adoption 28d to take effect

21 FVRCP > 4 wks old -> at intake Adult -> repeat in 2 weeks Kitten -> repeat every 2 weeks until 18 wks old (adult K9 teeth in) Cat Schedule FeLV (if group housing) >8wks old -> at intake Booster in 2-3 wks Rabies >12 wks old At intake or adoption 28 d to take effect

22 WHEN to vaccinate the young Puppies and kittens Every 2 weeks until 20 wks old Adult K9s are partially in Veterinary News DVM 360 The Cat Site

23 Why so often in the young

24 WHEN to use the vaccine: Preparation Use WITHIN 60 minutes of mixing Keep refrigerated at ALL times from arrival
