Free Vaccination as Vaccine Amnesty launched

Novenber is Vaccination Awarness Month and so a nationwide drive has been launched to remind pet owners that vaccination must be boosted annually, in order to maintain adequate levels of immunity against deadly diseases such as parvovirus and leptospirosis.

Many people don’t realise that their pets need vaccination annually, instead wrongly believing that if their puppy or kitten got their jabs as a youngster they are protected for life or with already hectic lifestyles simply forget its due. Moreover, as the recession hits more and more households the funds for this years visit to the vets just may not have been there.

So if your pets vaccination has lapsed or if you’ve been putting it off till you ‘save up a few pound’ now is your chance to get it done at a reduced cost and be assured in the knowledge that your furry friend will be safe for the forthcoming year.

If the booster has been overdue for more than six months then he or she will need to start the vaccination course again to re-gain optimum protection. Participating veterinary clinics, in conjunction with pet vaccine manufactures Intervet Schering Plough, are offering owners the chance to get the second part of the re-vaccination program done free of charge. Similar offers are in place for rabbit and horse vaccination programs. All you have to do is ask your local vet for details, but hurry as this offer is for a limited period only.You can’t say better than that for a recession busting deal!
