You can administer shots yourself in general, however you need to know what vaccines are necessary and when it is appropriate to give them. You also need to know how to recognize an adverse reaction. In some states, you cannot administer rabies vaccinations yourself. Many shows/facilities will not recognize owner administered vaccines, as well.
If you choose to give vaccinations yourself, you should be aware that vaccine handling affects the safety and effectiveness of vaccines. When purchasing vaccines from pet supply or vet supply stores, the chance that vaccines have not been adequately handled increases because they have been shipped more than once.

What is the only vaccine that a vet has to give to the horse?
Typically a vet will need to administer the rabies vaccine so that you can get a current and legal rabies certificate, though this can vary by state. You can administer it yourself if the horse will absolutely never leave your property, but it is best to have a current rabies certificate, which will require you to have a vet give the shot.As well as Rabies, horses should also receive the Tetanus vaccine. Tetanus lives everywhere and can be fatal.
What type of medical degree or certificate is needed to administer shots to animals?

How much does the rabies shot for cats cost?
It really depends on age and what shots you're talking about. A cat needs an examination before it can be given a shot. This will probably run you around 100$. Rabies shots are REQUIRED and are around 50$. Total: 150$ However, as I said, it depends on how many shots and which ones you get. I don't buy the others since they ARE known to actually get cats sick. ALSO, please make sure your vet delivers them in a limb, not the torso. Usually, it's the right hind leg. (Shots have been proven to cause cancer and require amputation of the limb. Be wary and informed when getting your cats shots)
