Feline Vaccines
Veterinary vaccines are given to prevent disease, yet studies show that
they are often debilitating and fatal. They have been linked to
autoimmune and neurological disorders, including cancer, diabetes,
arthritis, tumors, seizures, allergies, digestive problems, organ
failure, and many other serious ailments.
Disease | Comments | Feline Leukemia
| Vaccine
has variable efficacy and carries a high risk for fibrosarcomas. Not
recommended for low-risk cats or those greater than four months old.
| Feline Immunodeficiency Virus
| Vaccine offers no protection against infection and will enhance viral replication in exposed cats. | |
Infectious Peritonitis
| Ineffective
vaccine increases incidence and severity of the disease. Vaccinated
cats develop severe infectious peritonitis faster, and die more
frequently, than unvaccinated cats.
| Calicivirus and Rhinotracheitis
| Vaccines
will not prevent infection or shedding. may induce disease and carrier
state. Adverse events are increased in cats one year and older, and in
those receiving feline leukemia (FeLV) or rabies vaccines
simultaneously.
| Bordetella Bronchiseptica
| New vaccine: safety and efficacy are not established.
| Chlamydiosis (Pneumonitis)
| Vaccine
will not prevent infection, has a high adverse reaction rate, and may
cause the clinical disease. Natural disease is mild and treatments are
effective. | Panleukopenia | Vaccine-induced
infection risk for cats less than four weeks old and immunosuppressed
or pregnant cats. Spontaneous abortion and birth defects are possible,
as well as brain damage. | Rabies
| Rabies
risk for pet cats is low; for indoor cats, nonexistent. Vaccine can
induce rabies, paralysis, and carries a high fibrosarcoma risk.
| Ringworm
| Vaccine
is not recommended for routine use because it will not prevent
ringworm. The vaccine is sometimes used as a treatment after infection,
but there is no convincing evidence of its efficacy. The adjuvant
carries a risk of vaccine-induced sarcomas. | Copyright Catherine Diodati. All rights reserved. For more information about vaccines in animals, read VaccineGuide for Dogs & Cats
