EQUINE VACCINATION RECOMMENDATIONS
ALL HORSES (excluding pregnant mares):
Eastern and Western Encephalitis/Tetanus (EWT) should be given in the spring (April). This year we have an EWT shot that also includes Rhinopueumontitis/Influenza. This makes it very convenient to get all of your spring shots with only two injections.
West Nile should be given at the same time as the EWT
Rhinopueumontitis/Influenza or Rhino/Flu should be given twice a year (April & October)
PERFORMANCE HORSES (increased exposure to other horses):
EWT & West Nile should be given annually as above
Rhino/Flu should be given every 3 months
PREGNANT MARES
EWT & Flu/Rhino and West Nile should be given 4 weeks prior to foaling. This will allow the mare to pass on some of the protection provided by these vaccines to the foal.
During gestation mares should receive a killed virus Rhino vaccination at the 5th, 7th, and 9th month of pregnancy
FOALS:
The initial vaccinations may be given at 4 to 6 months of age, providing the foal received adequate colostrums at birth. This should include EWT and West Nile. The EWT should be boostered in 4 to 6 weeks. You then can put your foals on the yearly spring vaccinations. Flu/Rhino should be given at 6 months or prior to weaning with a booster given 3-4 weeks after the initial dose. Strangles may be given as well if indicated.
OTHER VACCINES AVAILABLE:
Potomac Horse Fever
Rabies
Strangles
