Vaccinations For Dogs

Parvovirus vaccine is a core vaccine; the side effects with this vaccine is low.  The parvovirus is given initially at 6 weeks of age; followed by boosters at 9 and 12 weeks.  The immunity length for this vaccine at this point is one year.  The effectiveness of the parvovirus vaccine is high.  Parvovirus is a viral disease that causes severe vomiting and diarrhea which can be fatal.  Puppies who contract this disease do not always die, however they will always have a compromised inmmune system (in other words they will not be healthy dogs).
