What are "core" vaccines?
Recommended for most pets in a particular area and include vaccines for:
1. Zoonotic diseases
2. High risk, highly virulent diseases that have serious consequences if contracted, and which are universally distributed within the U.S. or very common in our area
What are "non-core" vaccines
Reserved for pets with unique needs:
1. have a defined risk for a particular disease
2. Low risk diseases that have minimal consequences if contracted
3. Diseases that are regionally distributed but not common locally
4. Diseases that only manifest in particularly high population concentrations (i.e. shelters, breeding facilities, catteries)
