Vaccine. 2022 Jan 13:S0264-410X(22)00006-8. doi: 10.1016/j.vaccine.2022.01.003. Online ahead of print.ABSTRACTVaccination guidelines for dogs and cats indicate that core vaccines (for dogs, rabies, distemper, adenovirus, parvovirus; for cats, feline parvovirus, herpes virus-1, calicivirus) are essential to maintain health, and that non-core vaccines be administered according to a clinician's assessment of a pet's risk of exposure and susceptibility to infection.
