But if the immune system is able to produce antibodies once, why does it need to be made to do it again with exactly the same dose of exactly the same thing two weeks later?The first injection does cause antibodies but also primes the system for when the second injection is administered to provide a higher level of protection. So we were taught in immunology 25 years ago...
I can see why annual boosters might be necessary.
I could be wrong, and I'll have a look at some point. I'm also pretty sure my vet described double injections in this way as an insurance policy.....
