Are vaccines safe?

A perfect risk-free vaccine does not exist.  However, vaccines have saved countless lives and they continue to be crucial weapons in the battle against canine and feline infectious diseases.  In most cases, the benefits of vaccines far outweigh the risks of disease occurring if the vaccines were not given.  To minimize any risk associated with vaccinations, please inform your veterinarian of any problems your pet is experiencing or any medication he/ she is receiving prior to vaccines.
