Re: Dogs Annual Vaccinations

[Guest guest]

I thought that Dr. Furman has previously stated the opinion that animal vaccinations are not a danger to humans. However, if the manufacturer specifically cautions immune compromised patients to take care, I guess I would do some more research on the particular vaccine.

I have found out that the annual vaccinations (DHLP - Distemper, Hepatitis, Leprospirosis and Parvovirus) required by dogs is a live virus, and the manufacturer state that immune compromised patients should avoid contact for up to 4 weeks (because the virus may be shed by the dog).

This must be a common problem for those of us with CLL, and I would therefore appreciate any feedback on how they have managed this situation.

Maybe our resident doctors could provide some advice on the potential seriousness of these live vaccinations.
