Post Vaccine Viral Shedding

[bridgie_cat]

Hey guys,

I am trolling the web for information on this topic and thus far not having a lot of luck due to the huge amount of literature on vaccinations in general.

What I am trying to find out - and please reply with links to papers/websites if you know any sources for this - is whether the viral shedding that results after immunization with a live vaccine in a healthy dog could have adverse affects on an immunocompromised pet in the household? I know you do not vaccinate a dog that is in poor health and I feel as though I have heard somewhere that you should keep bitches in whelp away from recently vaccinated dogs for the first week for this reason... but I am not sure if this rule applies to dogs in poor health being kept separate from recently vacc dogs in general in case of being less able to combat potential infection.

Would appreciate any replies and feel free to pm me if you like

Thanks

Bridget
