Clinical decision-making algorithms are very popular, so here’s one related to our recent post about what to do when pets are overdue for vaccine boosters from our 7-part (so far!) vaccination scenarios series.

The approach is very simple: It doesn’t matter if the dog is overdue or by how much the dog is overdue. If the dog has been vaccinated before, we expect a great response to a booster dose. While this goes against some of our long-standing and unsubstantiated dogma about vaccine booster series, it definitely makes things easier to manage.
