In the study, published in the medical journal Vaccine, researchers asked 2,200 Americans their thoughts on vaccines and whether they were dog owners. If they were, respondents were then asked whether they would vaccinate their dogs for rabies.
Approximately half of the pet owners surveyed expressed some degree of vaccine hesitancy — with 53% saying they believed vaccines administered to dogs were unsafe, ineffective or unnecessary, the study found.
Yup, my nephew can’t get vaccines because he had a heart transplant as a baby. He’s already had a few health scares, and I really don’t want another one to happen because some people are too selfish or ignorant to get vaccinated.
