Misunderstandings about Dogs' Vaccinations

Misunderstandings about vaccinating dogs:

1. Dogs who rarely or never go out don't need to be vaccinated. Even if the dog doesn't go out, the owner may still bring home viruses and transmit them to the dog.

2. Newly acquired puppies should be vaccinated immediately. Dogs may experience stress and a decrease in immunity when they are introduced to a new environment. They need some time to adapt before receiving vaccinations.

3. Pregnant dog mothers can receive vaccinations to enhance antibodies for their puppies. Dogs are more fragile and have decreased immunity during pregnancy. Vaccinations at this time may cause the mother to become ill, result in fetal deformities, and could even lead to miscarriage.

4. The earlier the vaccination, the better. Puppies do not need to be vaccinated until they are weaned from their mother's milk, as breast milk provides antibodies. Additionally, puppies have weaker constitutions, and vaccinations may pose a risk to their health.

5. Dogs will not get sick after being vaccinated. Vaccinations only prevent certain infectious diseases and do not guarantee that dogs will never get sick.

6. Dogs who have received rabies vaccinations can bite humans without consequence. Rabies vaccinations protect dogs from being infected with rabies themselves. Even if a dog carries the rabies virus, it is not easy for them to transmit it to humans. However, if a dog bites a person, there is still a possibility of transmitting the virus.

7. One vaccination is enough for a dog's lifetime. Dog vaccinations have an immunization period and their protective effect weakens as they age. Therefore, booster shots are needed annually.
