Do read this article as it offers a view on the distemper vaccination and vaccination in general. This view has been increasingly gaining support these days, especially from the school of thought which advises against over-vaccination. However, our disclaimer holds and you should consult your vet and do ample research before making a decision as to what is the best protection for your animals.

Any vaccine given to any dog at any point in his life has the ability to cause harm. This makes it incredibly important to limit vaccinations to only those that will protect your pet. After all, the entire point of vaccination is to protect your pet from harm, isn’t it?
It’s well established that vaccines can be harmful and should therefore be limited to as few as possible to protect our pets. “The patient receives no benefit and may be placed at serious risk when an unnecessary vaccine is given” says Dr Schultz. He adds, “Few or no scientific studies have demonstrated a need for cats or dogs to be revaccinated.”
Dr. Schultz summarizes his 40 years of research with the following:
“Only one dose of the modified-live canine ‘core’ vaccine (against CDV, CAV-2 and CPV-2) or modified-live feline ‘core’ vaccine (against FPV, FCV and FHV), when administered at 16 weeks or older, will provide long lasting (many years to a lifetime) immunity in a very high percentage of animals.”
However, there are also many factors to consider. For example, (1) the environment the animal came from and the environment he/she will be living in, (2) is there parental immunity? (3) the age of the animal, etc.
Please do consult your vet for further discussion.
