The first version of these guidelines was published in 2007 and they were updated in 2010. The present document provides an updated and expanded version of these international guidelines for the vaccination of small companion animals and indicates the scientific evidence base on which the recommendations are made. The VGG recognises that the keeping of pet small animals is subject to significant variation in practice and associated economics throughout the world and that vaccination recommendations that might apply to a developed country may not be appropriate for a developing country. These guidelines are not a mandatory edict, but rather should be used by national associations and individual veterinary practices to develop vaccination schedules relevant to the local situation. However, the VGG strongly recommends that wherever possible ALL dogs and cats receive the benefit of vaccination. This not only protects the individual animal, but provides optimum ‘herd immunity’ that minimizes the likelihood of infectious disease outbreaks.  \nWith this background in mind, the VGG has defined core vaccines as those which ALL dogs and cats, regardless of circumstances or geographical location, should receive. Core vaccines protect animals from severe, life-threatening diseases that have global distribution. Core vaccines for dogs are those that protect against canine distemper virus (CDV), canine adenovirus (CAV) and the variants of canine parvovirus type 2 (CPV-2) . Core vaccines for cats are those that protect against feline parvovirus (FPV), feline calicivirus (FCV) and feline herpesvirus-1 (FHV-1) . In areas of the world where rabies virus infection is endemic, vaccination against this agent should be considered core for both species, even if there is no legal requirement for routine vaccination.  \nThe VGG recognizes that maternally derived antibody (MDA) significantly interferes with the efficacy of mos","cbCaicPeS9qe5Qg3","https://ap.wps.com/l/cbCaicPeS9qe5Qg3","pdf",377712,45,"English","# Executive Summary\n# Introduction\n## Evidence Based Veterinary Medicine\n## The Purpose of Guidelines\n## Current Issues in Small Animal Vaccinology\n## Types of Vaccine\n# Canine Vaccination Guidelines\n# Feline Vaccination Guidelines\n# Vaccination in the Shelter Environment\n## General Considerations\n# Tables 1 to 7\n# Acknowledgments\n# References\n# Appendix I.
