West Nile Horse Vaccine Comparison Chart
Your horse is part of your family, but unless he is vaccinated, he could be at risk for potentially deadly diseases like West Nile virus (WNV).
WNV is transmitted by mosquitoes, which feed on infected birds, to horses, humans and other mammals. Horses represent 97 percent of all reported non-human mammalian cases of WNV; therefore, it is crucial that horses be protected against this risk. Through vaccination, you can provide your horse with nearly 100 percent protection. There are many WNV vaccines available to help shield your horse against this potentially deadly disease. To help decide which West Nile vaccine for horses is the best choice for your barn, reference this comparison chart below.
