Mare - Vaccines and Pregnancy
Rhinopneumonitis vaccine is recommended for all
pregnant mares at five, seven and nine months of pregnancy to
prevent abortion. Mares should be vaccinated one to two
months before foaling with all vaccines so their colustrum (first
milk) will be high in antibodies for their foals.
All injectable
vaccines, including West Nile, have been proven through field
studies and time to be safe and effective for pregnant mares.
All vaccines have a slight risk of reaction. The benefits of
all the vaccines we recommend far outweigh that slight risk.
