Dodgy CL results-- Advice?

[Nanno]

So I heard back from Dr. Evermann at WSU (WADDL) today. We don't have Lilly's latest test results yet, but I discussed my situation with him and he thinks that in my case it would probably be best to go ahead and vaccinate. Even if the effectiveness of the vaccine is not particularly stellar, he thinks it is probably better than nothing since I can't eliminate contact with the disease. He hasn't heard too many things one way or the other about the new Texas Vet Labs vaccine. I plan to call and discuss the safety and effectiveness with them (although as product salesmen I expect a fairly rosy review). They may have some good tips about how to avoid lumps and reactions in any case.

One more reason to vaccinate is that I want to encourage a better vaccine to be developed. The best way to show demand for a product is to lay money down on it, and maybe more labs will get to work if they see green in it.
