It says: You may be a party to a potential class action lawsuit arising from the misrepresentation of the need for vaccinations for your pets. If, within the last four years, you have paid for any of the following pet vaccinations without receiving adequate disclosure, you may have a claim for damages. The vaccines include the following:
1) Annual vaccination for canine distemper, parvovirus, and feline distemper, rhinotracheitis, calcivirus (Scientific studies indicate that repeat administration of these vaccines provides no beneficial effect.)
2) Corona virus vaccination. (Scientific studies indicate dogs over 8 weeks old are not susceptible to this disease.)
3) Leptospirosis or Lyme disease vaccination
(Research indicates these diseases are rare to non-existent in Texas and many other parts of the country.)
4) Feline Aids vaccine, Feline Infectious Peritonitis vaccine, or Giardia vaccine (Scientific studies have shown these vaccines to be ineffective.)
If you have paid for any of the above vaccinations in the last four years and would like information concerning your rights, please fill out our
questionnaire.

Hmm.......some interesting points and good to know. I think some of the contents of these vacinations are combined into one shot. I'm not sure about the lyme's vacination?
My dog Benji (now over the bridge) used to get sick after his set of shots including rabies. We were forced to vacinate him regularily because we could not get his Dog Licence without the Vacination Certificate, and if we didn't have the Dog Licence paid on time, we'd be faced with a fine. The above info. states that the repeat of certain vaccines offer no beneficial effect, which tells me annual vacinations are a waste of money. However, I think we have to make it clear that vacinating in the first year is very important to prevent distemper, parvovirus etc, and in my opinion, also thereafter when certain circumstances apply. Thanks for posting this helpful info.
