Let’s assume that you have adequately described CPV to your clients and you explain that Brookyln will need to be vaccinated today (at 8 weeks of age), again at 11-12 weeks old, again at 15-16 weeks old, and once more at 19-20 weeks old. Your clients seem taken back. “Isn’t that a LOT?” they ask. “Why so many vaccines?” by UA CVM Professional Skills

Question: How will you respond to the clients, assuming that you’re not in a position to offer them titers?

Group 11: It is important to make sure they get proper protection from this often fetal virus

2024-06-10 16:20:17 UTC

Protecting Brooklyn requires several vaccinations in order for her body to develop and strengthen its immunity against this very debilitating disease.

Some vaccines may need multiple doses to provide the best protection -13

Group 7: Puppies are at higher risk of developing diseases as the antibodies from their mother wears off. It is important to assist the immune system in protecting your puppies from viruses that are easily passed between dogs.

2024-06-10 16:21:22 UTC

Group 3: Each time we give the vaccine, Brooklyn's body gets a little bit stronger when fighting againstCPV. However, this needs to be done a few times before her body can fight the pathogen by itself.

2024-06-10 16:21:24 UTC

Group 13 Talk more about pathophysiology in laymen's terms, that the patient's immune system isn't strong enough until after the vaccine protocol

Group 1

2024-06-10 16:21:30 UTC

Yes, that can seem like a lot of vaccines, however, it is important that we develop her immune system properly to give her body the best chance at fighting against diseases.

It allows the puppy’s immune system to learn what the virus is like so that if she does get the virus she is able to have a good immune response. She needs multiple shots at certain time points so that her immune system can do a good job of recognizing the virus if she does get it.

we want to make sure they are able to make their own immunity once their maternal antibodies wear off

Group 17

2024-06-10 16:21:56 UTC

We are not sure when each puppy loses their immune protection from their mother so we vaccinate often to keep them protected until their immune system takes over.

Group 4

2024-06-10 16:22:07 UTC

Remind them difference between pet vs. humans in regard to vax schedule and developing immune systems. Speak kindly and break it down for them in a way they can understand.

2024-06-10 16:22:18 UTC

Group #18: We want to make sure that while Brooklyn is young we are providing her with some antibodies alongside those that she received from her mother. At about 16 weeks of age all maternal antibodies are expected to no longer be protecting Brooklyn which is why we would do a final vaccination at 19-20 weeks to ensure she has as much protection as possible.

Group 5

2024-06-10 16:22:19 UTC

acknowledging that it is multiple vaccines, but we need to meet the window of susceptibility and strengthen their immunity

Group 6

2024-06-10 16:22:30 UTC

We want to do what is best for Brooklyn and provide the best coverage that we can. With Brooklyn's age we are right at a spot where we can provide the most optimal coverage, which would mean this many appointments. We provide them so that her immune system can truly learn how to fight against these pathogens and provide the best protection for her.

It is important for Brooklyns immune system to be properly equipped to fight off parvo if she were to come into contact with it, it is recommended that the body needs this many series to be able to do so!

Group 2:

2024-06-10 16:22:34 UTC

We are young dog and the vaccines will help build the necessary immunity to combat the virus. This is similar to how humans require boosters as well. We are trying to catch the point in time where the maternal antibodies are decreasing and the puppy's antibodies are increasing to get the best protection.

Group 8

2024-06-10 16:22:47 UTC

Several vaccines is the best and cheapest option to prevent CPV. Mult doses are needed to properly build an immune response to allow your puppy to fight off the pathogen on its own. Treatment is quite expensive and may require hospitalization in the future.

2024-06-10 16:22:49 UTC

Brooklyns Maternal antibodies can interfere with the vaccination protocol therefore we must provide multiple opportunities to Brooklyns body to ensure that proper immunity will develop. They may seem a lot but they are crucial to avoid any risk of infection and to lead a healthy life

Group 20

2024-06-10 16:22:49 UTC

The puppy's immune system is rapidly changing, and so we want to vaccinate at multiple times to target different stages. They are at first relying on antibodies that come from their mom in the milk, but these will eventually run out, and we want to start vaccinating to help their bodies develop enough of their own antibodies, and to do this we need multiple boosters.

Room 16

2024-06-10 16:22:51 UTC

Just like with humans, the number of vaccines is needed to ensure adequate protection against preventable yet often fatal viruses.

Group 10

2024-06-10 16:22:55 UTC

The reason behind the multiple vaccines is to ensure the puppy receives the necessary protection against various diseases at different stages of development. Just like how we receive booster shots for certain vaccines, puppies need multiple doses to build up their immunity effectively.

Group #19 - It is important to administer boosters in order for the body to develop an adequate immune response to disease.

2024-06-10 16:23:08 UTC

Group 14:

2024-06-10 16:23:15 UTC

More vaccines are needed in the beginning to protect the patient long term, the first dose is to introduce the patient to the virus then the future doses help build the immunity to fight the disease if introduced to it.

Group 24

2024-06-10 16:23:28 UTC

The antibodies that mom passes on to her puppies will interfere with whatever vaccine we give them and make it ineffective. Over time, mom's antibodies will start to disappear. The purpose of administering multiple vaccines is to maintain proper amount of antibodies within the puppy to prevent disease, while also trying to avoid it interfering with mom's antibodies that she passed on. It is to ensure the puppy is properly protected and that they're able to create their own immune response.

Group 23

2024-06-10 16:23:32 UTC

Remind client that immune system needs to see antigen multiple times so we want the dog to have a good immune response. The more boosters the puppy gets, the stronger the immune system will be. Also discuss that that this vaccine schedule is following the most recent guidelines of many peer reviewed articles saying that multiple vaccines have been proven to help support the immune system.

Group 15: We don't know when a puppies maternal antibodies are going to wear off, so by giving multiple vaccines we are hoping to catch when those antibodies start to wear off and boost their immunity with their own antibodies
