Vaccination At VetMed

Why is vaccination important?

Your pets should be vaccinated to protect them from many highly contagious and infectious diseases. Thanks to the regular vaccination of pets over the years, the occurrence of infectious diseases has decreased. However, occasional outbreaks do occur in Australia and the best form of protection is having your pet fully vaccinated. Protection from vaccination declines over time and it is advised that you re-vaccinate your pet annually to ensure their ongoing and strong immunity. Having up to date vaccinations is required for your pet to access Vet Med’s Boarding and Grooming services.
