True, none of them are a guarantee and I still get my dogs v******ted. The only reason they get taken to a vet for them is because a vet has to give them for health certs (for travel) where I am. My old vet would honor shots given by me. NPP has a great point - if you can avoid taking a puppy to a vet for a shot that's great. Not everyone has that option though.
The last time I had the flu was 4 years ago after getting a flu shot. Haven't had one since and haven't had the flu.
Same with the shingles and pneumonia shots. My Drs. are pushing all of the BS and I'm telling them to take mine for me. I just turned 69 and haven't had a cold much anything worse for years. If you don't get it through your diet, take Vitamin C and two low dose aspirin daily and get off your butt and exercise a bit. You'll still die but maybe later. Your life and health is already written in the book. Mike
