Frequently Asked Questions

Q1: What does the Vetera EWT + WNV Vaccine protect my horse against?

Ans: Vetera EWT + WNV Vaccine helps protect healthy horses and foals four months of age or older against Eastern and Western equine encephalomyelitis, tetanus, and West Nile Virus by stimulating antibodies that reduce the risk and severity of these serious neurologic and systemic diseases.

Q2: At what age can a foal start the Vetera EWT + WNV vaccination series?

Ans: Foals can generally begin receiving this combination vaccine at four months of age, provided they are healthy. Your veterinarian will determine the most appropriate timing based on maternal antibody status, local disease risk, and the overall barn vaccination program.

Q3: How many doses are required in the initial Vetera EWT + WNV series?

Ans:  The primary vaccination series typically includes two intramuscular doses of 1 mL each, given three to four weeks apart. This schedule helps the horse’s immune system mount a strong response before transitioning to regular annual booster vaccinations.

Q4: How often should horses be revaccinated after the initial series?

Ans: Most horses receive a single 1 mL intramuscular booster once every twelve months after completing the primary series. In higher-risk regions or during intense mosquito seasons, your veterinarian may adjust the booster interval to maintain optimal protection.

Q5: Can pregnant mares safely receive Vetera EWT + WNV Vaccine?

Ans: Veterinarians commonly include combination encephalomyelitis, tetanus, and West Nile Virus vaccines in vaccination programs for pregnant mares. The veterinarian will weigh regional disease risk, gestational stage, and overall health before recommending the most appropriate timing for administration.

Q6: Where on the horse is Vetera EWT + WNV usually injected?

Ans: The vaccine is administered intramuscularly, often into the neck or shoulder muscle. Veterinarians select injection sites based on muscle mass, ease of access, and the need to rotate locations between doses to minimize localized soreness or swelling.

Q7: What side effects can occur after Vetera EWT + WNV vaccination?

Ans: Most horses experience minimal reactions, such as mild, short-term swelling, warmth, or tenderness at the injection site. Some individuals may exhibit brief lethargy or a reduced appetite. Rarely, more serious allergic reactions can occur and require prompt veterinary attention and treatment.

Q8: How should the Vetera EWT + WNV Vaccine be stored before use?

Ans: The combination vaccine should be refrigerated within the temperature range stated on the label, kept upright, never frozen, and protected from direct sunlight. Proper storage helps preserve vaccine potency, ensuring that each dose provides reliable immunity.

Q9: Can Vetera EWT + WNV be administered with other equine vaccines?

Ans: Vetera EWT + WNV Vaccine is often part of a broader vaccination plan that may include additional products. In most cases, vaccines are administered in separate syringes and at different sites. Your veterinarian will design a schedule to optimize safety and immune response.

Q10:  Does the Vetera EWT + WNV Vaccine need to be given by a veterinarian?

Ans: The combination vaccine should be administered under veterinary supervision to ensure correct dosage, proper intramuscular injection technique, and appropriate timing. Your veterinarian can also monitor for adverse reactions and maintain accurate records, which are vital for long-term health management.
