Vaccination help please

[katiecuckoo]

Hi, can anyone tell me what horses require to start them on a course of vaccines agains Flu and Tetanus? I know Flu is: Ist jab, then the 2nd a month later and the 3rd six months after that, then to yearly boosters... and I thought Tetanus was 1st jab, 2nd a month later and then to Bi-annual boosters. But my vet is giving a combined Flu and Tet jab every time - which surely have to be more expensive? Is it not possible to simply give Flu on its own for the 3rd jab for example?

the flu and tet jabs are 1st then 2nd upto 6 weeks later 3rd 6 months later than yearly, it is no more expensive to have the combined jabs, and to be honest i just do as a matter of course.
Trust your vets they normally know best

As miss_bird said - its actually no more expensive.

You use the vets as they have lots of training etc - trust them
