"Pushing the Shots" at 4:31. Remember as you watch that the American Animal Hospital Association Canine Vaccine Guidelines referenced in this news article show distemper, parvo & hepatitis vaccines have a proven MINIMUM duration of immunity of 7 years by challenge and up to 15 years serologically.
The 2003 American Animal Hospital Association Canine Vaccine Guidelines http://www.leerburg.com/special_report.htm state on Page 18 that: “We now know that booster injections are of no value in dogs already immune, and immunity from distemper infection and vaccination lasts for a minimum of 7 years based on challenge studies and up to 15 years (a lifetime) based on antibody titer.” They further state that hepatitis and parvovirus vaccines have been proven to protect for a minimum of 7 years by challenge and up to 9 and 10 years based on antibody count.
Canine parvo type 2, distemper, adeno type 1 and parainfluenza: "These results suggest that the duration of serological response induced by modified-live vaccines against CPV-2, CDV, CAV-1 and CPiV...vaccines, is beyond 18 months and may extend up to 9 years. Accordingly, these vaccines may be considered for use in extended revaccination interval protocols as recommended by current canine vaccine guidelines."http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/23186088

Wow ... "typically an annual vaccination"?
I'd be dismayed to hear that claim these days (and I might laugh sarcastically at such a vet, on my way out) . But I guess I tend to assume that the whole dog-owning public is as well-informed as folks on this board.
PS
They did point out that the vast majority was honest and ethical.

I wish that all pet owners were as informed as those on this board & that the majority of veterinarians never gave redundant vaccinations!

That is VERY interesting (about the reporter).
Also, I'm glad the dental thing came up. I was unhappy about its inclusion in the original piece. MHO is that WAY more dogs need and do not get oral work than the other way around.
I've lost 2 pets to cancer, that advice to ignore a bump is just plain out there.
Absolutely agree. Plus the bump in the mouth raise additional red flags due to the possibility of a tooth absess/infection that can lead to heart disease among other things
