Live and online now, Equine Guelph’s new Vaccination Equi-Planner, sponsored by Intervet Schering-Plough, is a tool designed for horse owners to generate personalized immunization schedules for their horses
.
Horse owners are asked to complete six questions which help determine individual farm differences and risk factors, including: age, use, sex, exposure to outside horses and geography. The data is then compiled in a program, and a printable customized vaccination schedule is provided for each horse.
“Vaccines are an important part of a horse’s preventative health program,” said Dr. Richard Conrad, technical services consultant for Intervet Schering-Plough. “This new tool is a great starting point for horse owners and veterinarians to discuss the appropriate use of vaccines for their horses.”
