Total Germophobe Posts: 6443 Location: Montana	Just as the title says, what is the difference between the 2 EHV vaccinations? I'm wanting to breed my mare in the spring, so would like to ensure success and make sure my mare has all the necessary care and vaccines, so would like to know the difference. I've vaccinated my mare for years with the Fluvac 4/1 with the EHV as I had her out competing, and I know Pneumabort is the vaccine for pregnant mares, but I'm unsure of the difference (if any) of the different strains of the virus and likewise the vaccines. Thanks!

Extreme Veteran Posts: 415	I've been googling and it looks like the Fluvac 4/1 is safe for pregnant mares (according to a few websites that sell it) so it looks like it's all good! If anything you would think they would make it in bold print if you couldn't use it on pregnant mares! Good question though, funny timing too as you posted this right after I bought it today!
