Vaccination

VACCINATION
  • Formalin-inactivated viral vaccines for EEE, WEE, and VEE. Vaccines in mono-, bi-, or trivalent forms are available. The viral strain of VEE in vaccines is TC-83, which was originally developed as a modified live inoculation to protect laboratory workers investigating VEE.
  • The vaccination protocol consists of two injections 30 days apart, followed by an annual or biannual booster dependent on the geographic location of the horses. An attenuated VEE virus vaccine is also used in certain parts of America.
