Several misunderstandings about dog vaccinations

Misunderstandings about vaccinating dogs:

1. Dogs that go out less or never go out do not need to be vaccinated. Even if the dog does not go out, if the owner comes into contact with the virus outside and brings it home, it can still infect the dog.

2. Newly bought puppies should be vaccinated immediately. Dogs will experience stress and their resistance will decrease when they change to a new environment. They need to adapt to the new environment for a period of time before they can be vaccinated.

3. Pregnant dog mothers can get vaccinated to enhance antibody protection for their puppies. Dogs are more fragile and have lower resistance while pregnant, so vaccination at this time may cause the mother dog to become sick, leading to fetal deformities and even miscarriage.

4. The earlier the vaccine is administered, the better. Dogs do not need to be vaccinated while still being breastfed, as the mother's milk provides them with antibodies. Moreover, puppies have weaker constitutions, and vaccination may pose risks to them.

5. Dogs will not get sick if they are vaccinated. Vaccination only prevents several infectious diseases and does not mean that dogs will never get sick.

6. Dogs vaccinated against rabies can bite people without consequences. Dogs are vaccinated against rabies to prevent themselves from being infected with rabies. Even if the dog carries the rabies virus, it is not easily transmitted to humans. However, if the dog bites a person, there is still a possibility of transmitting the virus to them.

7. Vaccinating once in a lifetime is enough. Dog's immune vaccines have a limited immunity period. The protective effect becomes weaker with age, so a booster shot is needed every year.
