So we usually just lie and say the patient has already had it. Would you want someone asking you something like that when you or your loved one is in crisis. Morons.
TRULY amazing, and unbelievable stupid.

Because even rabid vaccine proponents generally recognize that vaccinating someone who isn't in good health- especially if they have any sort of infection brewing or other potential immune system issues- is NOT good for them, is potentially risky, and is highly unlikely to provide the immune response they are hoping for anyway!

It stuns me when I realize our veterinarian is better educated on vaccine safety and protocol than most human doctors...
