Do you get your pets vaccinated every year? Vaccinations have saved many pets` lives over the years, but they aren`t without risk. Now, with new research showing that immunity may last longer than once thought, veterinary experts say it`s safer to decrease the frequency of most shots that typically have been given every year. Side effects from vaccinations range from mild itching and swelling to anaphylactic shock leading to death. Cats may develop vaccine sarcomas, which are cancers that develop at the site of the injection. And dogs may develop certain autoimmune diseases. http://www.msnbc.msn.com/id/8572826...

My cat on the other hand, I can't remember the last time she went to the vet. I vaguely remember her getting a rabies shot seven or eight years ago and that wasn't even at a vet. Now she's at least thirteen years old and appears to be in good health.
