An update on canine and feline vaccination practices and guidelines

The most recent, international, companion animal vaccination guidelines were produced by the World Small Animal Veterinary Association (WSAVA) Vaccination Guidelines Group (VGG) and published in the Journal of Small Animal Practice January 2016. Other guidelines have been published periodically by the American Animal Hospital Association (dogs only), the American Association of Feline Practitioners and the European Advisory Board on Cat Diseases. Although these groups develop their guidelines independently of each other, there is increasing consensus in their recommendations.
