Guelph Offers Online Vaccination Schedule

November 20, 2009 Guelph,ON –

Live and online now, Equine Guelph’s new Vaccination Equi-Planner,sponsored by Intervet Schering-Plough, is a tool designed for horseowners to generate personalized immunization schedules for theirhorses. 

Horse owners are asked to complete six questions that help usdetermine individual farm differences and risk factors, including: age, use, sex, exposure to outside horses and geography.  This data isthen compiled in a program, and a printable customized vaccinationschedule is provided for each horse.

“Vaccines are an important part of a horse’s preventative healthprogram,” says Dr. Richard Conrad, Technical Services Consultant forIntervet Schering-Plough.  “This new tool is a great starting point forhorse owners and veterinarians to discuss the appropriate use ofvaccines for their horses.”
