I think it is generally accepted that with the advent of modified live virus vaccine there is no need to vaccinate against parvo every year.
I give parvo vaccine every three years.
One should make sure that one shot is given when the pup is rather old, say 5 months old, to make sure material protection is over.

I would be interested to know what is the reasoning behind why people don't vaccinate their dogs?
Not to say one view is right or wrong - everybody has their reason in vaccinating or not - just want to know - the area you live in and why you do or don't...............

High Desert, pretty sure you mean "MATERNAL".
The reasoning would be the countless studies proving that yearly booster shots are both unnecessary and harmful, not to mention useless and a waste of money.
Deja vu, anyone? Didn't we just go over all this?

No. We do the 3 year rabies though. Have to or we can not cross the border.

@Yogi, as an adult how many vaccinations do you recieve every year. Once your immune system is developed and you are exposed to a vaccinations there really isn't much need for booster shots. Many people do recieve the flu vaccination annually but that is supposely a different vaccination each year to fight off different versions or mutations of the virus each year.
although we are talking about dogs and not humans, there aren't that many differences.
Legislation is often times inspired by a good idea but fueled by financial gain.

James -I will play the devils advocate........... funny that you ask - how many vaccinations does a person get in a year?.. Nor is it even for financial gain - .. I work in the insurance field - and the health care professionals, as well as the general public, feel they need to be vaccinated against everything ........... We cant really compare human vs animal.... but the human population seems to want to get vaccinated against everything... there is the HPV for females - that most people felt - why should my girl 14 - 26 get vaccinated against - but now it is just routine ----now they have it for boys......there is the Zoster vaccine - which is for the prevention of chicken pox -(most doctors recommend it for adults 60 years of age or older - but oddly they don't stock it in the office - it is quite expensive but shelf life not to long - so financial gain for the doctors to recommend and then send them elsewhere?) hey the insurance pays for it if you are 60 years or older............ routinely if you can find it......I talk to people that want to get vaccinated against typhoid, yellow fever, tetanus, hep a and b and not to long ago the medical association states we should now get a booster for polio.............
..... each year the health care professionals change on if we should have more fiber in our diet - or less fiber - if we should get the flu shot or not.............same with the dogs................ I am not a support of giving my dogs alot of vaccines -nor myself or my children....... but you did bring up the question so I am the devils advocate..... Hell I don't get a flu shot -NOR DO I WORM MY CHILDREN EACH YEAR............
I don't worry about so much the parvo in my adults.......but I do worry about it in my puppies... I worry about the diseases that rats bring............. I personally don't think that the vaccination of my dogs will harm them - However I do worry about a rat coming in to my yard and bringing their filth and diseases.........not to mention all the people that don't vaccinate their animals.......that come to my club or the neighbors dogs that run through my yard... ........ I just want to be prepared............
Nobody really knows - vets say vaccinate - vets say don't vaccinate - do we really want to over vaccinate - I dunno........... But ya know - what if I don't vaccinate and they or are wrong...........maybe they are right - but - nobody really knows..............just my personal opinion...
