Vaccination is a vital component of equine health management and assists in protecting horses against a raft of infectious diseases, such as tetanus, strangles, equine herpes virus, salmonella, rotavirus and others.
The Equine Vaccination Guidelines for New Zealand have been developed to assist you, the horse owner, in making sound decisions around your horses health in collaboration with your veterinarian. These guidelines have been endorsed by the New Zealand Equine Veterinary Association, the New Zealand Equine Research Foundation and the New Zealand Equine Health Association to give you confidence in developing a vaccination plan for your horse.
