Causey interviewed by BDN on public skepticism for animal vaccines
Bangor Daily News interviewed University of Maine associate professor of animal and veterinary sciences Robert Causey for an article titled, “More than half of pet owners don’t believe in vaccinating their animals.” Causey said vaccines strengthen a pet’s immunity against serious, potentially fatal diseases that can be contracted from exposure to other animals in boarding kennels or pet shops. “Vaccines also provide protection against wildlife-borne diseases, such as rabies, and environmental disease such as tetanus,” he said.
