It’s always refreshing when vets are open and up front about the pet vaccination issue.
As you may know, I stopped vaccinating my dogs when they were 8 years old. So they have not been vaccinated now for the past 6 years. I only wish I had known earlier how unnecessary, and yes, harmful, regular annual vaccinations are. Had I known the facts, I would have stopped years before.
Some vets, such as the eminent Dr Jean Dodds, who I have been fortunate to hear speak in person, actively spread the word that annual vaccinations are not required. But the vast majority of vets continue to advise pet owners that ongoing vaccinations are essential, even though the evidence is clearly to the contrary.
Dr Andrew Jones is another kindred spirit where vaccinations are concerned. As you would expect from any responsible vet, he does not say you should do away with vaccinations altogether, but he gives the following recommendations for vaccinating your dog:
Puppy Vaccination Regimen:
8 weeks:
Parvovirus (MLV – Modified Live Vaccines) and Distemper (MLV)
12 weeks:
Parvovirus (MLV) and Distemper (MLV)
Only give Bordatella vaccines if going to a kennel or puppy class
6 months:
Give Rabies vaccine (killed)
Adult Dogs:
1 year:
Parvovirus (MLV) and Distemper (MLV)
1 1/2 years:
Rabies vaccine (killed)
No further vaccines for 3 years.
4 years:
Parvovirus (MLV) and Distemper (MLV)
4 1/2 years:
Rabies vaccine (killed)
After this, in Dr Jones’ opinion, no further vaccinations are required. Ever.
Of course, State or local laws may require you to vaccinate against Rabies, in which case you have a legal obligation to do so, even though medically there is no requirement for this.

Thanks for spreading the word about vaccinations. People are just so programmed to get annual vaccines in their dogs that they just don’t think to question or investigate its necessity or safety.
I firmly believe that people need to wake up and educate themselves instead of relying on strangers (your vet) to tell you how to take care of your dogs health.
