These days almost everyone feels like an expert on vaccines...but are you?! Do you know the "puppy shot" schedule? What about kittens? Do senior dogs, 7 yrs old and up, REALLY need vaccines EVERY year? And, what about titers, don't those count for something? Does your vet give your dog a vaccine that goes "up the nose?"
Luckily, Dr. Jen the vet and Dr. Jason know a vaccine expert! Dr. Amy Stone enters the Chat Room to talk all about "vaccine-ology" and YOUR pets! Dr. Stone is another smartypants - not only is she a veterinarian - she also has a PhD in immunology! Currently, Dr. Stone is the Primary Care and Dentistry Service Chief at the University of Florida's College of Veterinary Medicine.
