To the best of my knowledge, there are no legally required vaccines for equids in California. However, individual shows, events or stables may require certain vaccines such as those for rabies, strangles, West Nile Virus, EEE/WEE/VEE, herpesvirus, etc.

The AAEP (American Association of Equine Practitioners, the core association for equine veterinarians) advocates that all horses should receive Rabies, Tetanus, West Nile Virus, Easter, Western and possibly Venezuelan Equine Encephalomyelitis vaccines. Depending upon your horse's individual risk profile and geographic location, other vaccines may also be recommended by your veterinarian.

How many vaccinations do dwarf rabbits need?

Dwarf rabbits need the same vaccinations as all pet rabbits. What vaccinations are required for your pet rabbit depends on where you live. In the UK, rabbits require two vaccinations: one against Myxomatosis and the other against VHD (Viral Hemorrhagic Disease). there should be two weeks between the administration of these vaccinations. In many parts of North America, however, no vaccinations are required (or even available) for rabbits at all. Contact a local pet rabbit organization or a "rabbit-savvy" vet to find out what vaccinations are required for rabbits in your area.

What all shots do miniature horses need?

Miniature horses require the same vaccinations as full-sized horses because they are susceptible to the same diseases. In the US, all horses should be vaccinated against Eastern and Western Equine Encephalytis, Tetanus, West Nile Virus and Rabies. These are considered "core vaccinations" by the American Association of Equine Practitioners. Besides these "core vaccinations", there are "risk-based" vaccinations such as Potomac Horse Fever, Strangles, Influenza, Equine Herpes Virus 1 & 4, Equine Viral Arteritis, etc. These vaccines are given based upon the risk of exposure. Horse owners should contact their veterinarian to get recommendations for their horses based upon the specifics of their situation.


Why is it impractical to include influenza vaccinations in the required childhood vaccinations?

There are many different strains of influenza. This is why you get a flu shot (or could) every year. So making a required vaccine would only protect the child for that one year.
