    Hi

    Tried finding some TF vaccine in the uk, but to no avail.

    Do you, guys, have any experience?

    Does it make sense to not use vaccines w both thimerosal and aluminium? At least aluminium is impossible to avoid as it's an adjuvant...

    Starting to review vaccination patterns for my dogs once again. I think I will just be going the titer route from now on when travelling.



    Your thoughts will be much appreciated!

    I probably should not be replying to this post, since I am not a vet but you maybe interested to know that I have been travelling overseas with dogs for the past 40 years, was one of the first members of the Pets Passport Scheme and have never had a problem with the Rabies vaccine. Sounds like a bit of unnecessary scaremongering to me?

    I'm afraid I'm not aware of issues with the rabies vaccine. Can you post an appropriate link to any studies, evidence or veterinary recommendations you've found so people can be properly informed :)
