Hi Michelle,
I think you are right in this. I have "combined", but it was
inadvertant, and wouldn't do it conciously were there an alternative. No
vaccine is 100%.
Having run a foster program myself, I understand that you cannot ask
them to risk either their own pets, or other fosters.
I hope you can find him a home.
All the best,
Margo
