Why don't people over 65 need another pneumonia shot?
After the age of 65, people are typically considered to have received adequate protection from the pneumonia vaccine. This is because the immune response to the vaccine is strong enough to provide long-lasting immunity in most individuals. However, certain medical conditions or situations may still warrant a recommendation for a second dose of the pneumonia vaccine in some individuals over 65.
How many seconds is a vaccine?
A vaccine is a medicine for immunity and does not have "seconds". If you mean how many seconds does it take for the vaccine to be administered, then the injection of a vaccine usually only takes 5-10 seconds to put the vaccine into your body with a needle since the amount of vaccine needed is so small. If the vaccine is available in a nasal mist, the inhalation of a nasal mist takes as long as it takes for you to sniff. If you mean how long will the immunity last before you need a booster vaccination, you should check with your doctor about the type of vaccine you are getting (e.g. influenza, bacterial pneumonia, etc.). Depending on your age and the type of vaccine, some vaccinations need boosters every so often. Your doctor can tell you how long the one you are getting lasts.

There should be five years between the initial shot and a booster. * 18-65 years - one immunization and then one booster after age 65, if five years have passed since the initial shot.

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.
