Vaccine Skepticism Threatens Pet Health
Update: 2025-12-07
Description
Federal health officials decision to end the hepatitis B vaccine recommendation for newborns has sparked concerns about vaccine skepticism in veterinary practices. This trend is leading to a rise in preventable pet diseases like parvo and distemper, causing outbreaks and mass euthanizations at animal shelters. Experts warn that declining vaccination rates risk exposure to these illnesses, with recent parvo surges in Phoenix and distemper outbreaks in San Francisco and Los Angeles. Veterinarians stress the importance of vaccination against these core diseases, as distemper is related to the human measles virus, which has seen a resurgence due to declining vaccination rates.
