For the past few years I have been working alot at home and locally on my mares and one gelding. Well, with fingers crossed it looks like this year I will be able to get out and about and haul these guys. My question is, with all of the stuff going around every winter, what do all suggest vaccination wise? These guys have been home and I don't want them catching anything and everything like your average preschooler/kindergartner.lol

Some these may depend on the age of your horse. Also, I recommend contacting your vet for guidance. Eastern (EEE) and Western (WEE) equine encephalomyelitis, tetanus, rabies, Rhino EHV-1 and EHV-4, West Nile, Influenza. If you're going to be on the road a lot or in and out of strange barns I'd do strangles and Potomac horse fever. Make sure you CONSULT YOUR VET.

We do fluvac innovator 4 & west Nile. The 5 includes the EVH that has been going around but it really won't protect your horse from getting as the outbreaks have been different strains. Don't forget to do a booster anytime you start a new vaccine!
