Reporting Adverse Reactions

This information is also available on our group's files page

 

Why reporting adverse reactions is important...

It is important to animal lovers and the veterinary community that all adverse drug experiences and suspected product failures are reported. Reporting the adverse reactions of veterinary vaccines plays not only an important role in helping to win the battle against Vaccine Associated Sarcoma, but also in helping the professional veterinary community develop the safest and most effective products for our pets.
