Vet says restart puppy shots after late vaccine. Is it true?

Depending on his age and vaccination history, he made need to restart the 5in1 series again and have 2 doses 3-4 weeks apart. The best thing would be to have a vet examine him and evaluate his vaccine history and determine which vaccines he needs and when.

Yes, a third booster is required within the appropriate time line (2-4 weeks). Vaccines must be given in certain time frames to ensure they are effective. Vaccines given too late will not be effective. It's better to play it safe than risk disease. One gentle reminder, the vast majority of veterinarian are not out to make money. As a profession, we are not rich. We make recommendations based upon the best health of the pet. I hope this helps.

Yes, you still need to get the final set of vaccines. Since Peanut missed the last cycle, he will need an additional round. He will get this next set and then another round 2-4 weeks later. Vaccines must be given in a specific protocol to make sure of proper immunization. I hope this helps and please feel free to post any additional questions.

Don't worry! This will be fine, you will not have to start the course again. Take Milo tomorrow for his booster shot. I am glad you are a concerned pet owner, but he will have no problems due to this.

Hello. Your veterinarian is correct. The first vaccination was done at too young an age to promote immunity. No harm was done & this is a common practice with breeders who vaccinate so early. To promote the best immunity, vaccines are administered at 8, 12 & 16 weeks of age, then again in 1 year. Vaccines should be administered as recommended by your veterinarian after the one year boosters. So yes, Maple should receive one more booster vaccination.

Yes, this isn't good because Kupa isn't protected against deadly diseases like parvo and distemper. Plus, by law, he should be rabies vaccinated by now, and since he's not, that's breaking the law. You need to get him into a vet asap to start his vaccine schedule over again, and start his rabies vaccine series.

The first annual booster vaccine is very important to maximise long term protection and it is likely a course of 2 vaccines may be required to reinforce immunity. This depends in part on what she had already and the local disease risk in your area, your vet can advise further at your check up
