The risk of vaccination and sarcoma is not inconsequential.
Many veterinarians have altered their vaccination protocols to
every three years because recent studies that have indicated we are

They've changed the vaccine now, however...there is less risk. There is
still risk, however.
I can tell you though that with an aggressive fibro sarcoma, amputating the

just go and do a search for avma vaccination protocols. you'll at least
get PROFESSIONAL references. not that that means they are impartial, but at
least they're a little better than a lot that gets passed around on the
net--for example, ALL the vet schools in the country have adopted the
Inconsequential was probably a bad word to use, and I am sorry. I
am sorry for those of you who have lost cats to this disease (or to
anything else).
I have a kitty with a heart murmur and I do not vaccinate her against
anything. That's not because of the risk of cancer, though, it is

Ok, here is his answer about VAS. I was freaking out because there is
so much out of date, scary stuff on the Internet.
The term Vaccine Associated Sarcomas has fallen out of favor and now
termed Injection Site Sarcoma because they now believe that it is not
the vaccine, but the actual
I have had my cats vaccinated every year but I need to
talk to my vet about it. I sure don't want to take
any chances. Have any of you heard of this new strain
of calici virus? My vet sent a letter out to all his
clients owned by cats. You have to go for a booster
then go back in 3 weeks for
This is pretty interesting. I've heard for quite a while about the 3
year protocol, but out rescue still promotes a yearly protocol
(although I don't do that). Was wondering about a good reference for
this. I checked out the newvaccinationprotocols.com below, but see a
lot of data
The new calici virus, again, I think is scare tactics.
The vaccine is made by Fort Dodge, and Ft Dodge is trying to make $
off it. They are the same ones who make the FIP vaccine. I do not
use Ft Dodge vaccines on my cats. Again, this is something my vet has
never seen a case of, no one has

This is a very thoughtful and well reasoned article about the
over vaccination problem. It is written by a dog 'person', but
her research includes felines, and the issues are the same.

All I know is what my vet told me. I guess I am the
idiot for trusting him. I will do research about it.
I'm sorry I can't get on this site everyday to read
