We have received many concerned phone calls about the recent EHV outbreak in Texas/Oklahoma/Louisiana.
Dr Foristall is highly recommending Flu/Rhino boosters this fall/winter. Boosters will provide protection against equine influenza virus (EIV) and the respiratory forms of equine herpesvirus (EHV 1/4). Zoetis, our vaccine maker, and the AAEP, both recommend boostering at 6 months if you are higher risk - so if you are at a boarding facility, or attending shows/clinics, or using a commercial shipper, or at a farm that takes in training horses regularly, or at a farm that brings in new horses and sells horses regularly, then boosters are highly recommended. Here is a link to a detailed article about EHV: https://aaep.org/wp-content/uploads/2024/03/EHV_FAQ_for_Owners_Final.pdf If you or your farm wants to book a vaccine appointment or if you have any questions feel free to reach out via phone or text or email!
