#ed_op#DIV#ed_cl#Golden...3-way does include tetnus.&nbsp; But rabies is a seperate vaccine.&nbsp; #ed_op#/DIV#ed_cl##ed_op#DIV#ed_cl#And like you, I find the flu vaccine (which would be your in&nbsp;4-way shot), not necessary, cuz like you say our horses are not moved off the property a lot.&nbsp; So, why be bothered w/the extra expense. #ed_op#/DIV#ed_cl##ed_op#DIV#ed_cl#&nbsp;#ed_op#/DIV#ed_cl##ed_op#DIV#ed_cl#I think some people over vaccinate, JMO.&nbsp; But I think it's best to vaccinate based on what is prevelant in your area, where/how your horses are housed, and if you have&nbsp;a high&nbsp;exposure to outside horses (shows)&nbsp;or not.&nbsp; There is no vaccination regime that EVERYONE should follow, but based on factors that affect your horses.#ed_op#/DIV#ed_cl##ed_op#DIV#ed_cl#&nbsp;#ed_op#/DIV#ed_cl#

#ed_op#DIV#ed_cl#That's why Boomer's the only one who gets the flu vaccine - we show, and we are often stabled at the show for 3 days. The flu itself isn't that serious, but I'd hate to lose my show season over something that could have been prevented by a vaccine. The other horses rarely leave the property so I don't see the point - and they're not at the same place as him.#ed_op#/DIV#ed_cl#
