Ok, I know the proper answer to this but here goes anyway.
With vaccinations that require 2 doses, I always think the first dose primes the immune system and the second activates / tests the system.
Now if an animal has the first dose and the second dose is neglected would it not be true that if the animal comes into contact with the virus in the environment that would take the place of the second dose and the animal would achieve immunity?
So whilst I can see that the two dose system would be ideal would a single dose and rely on environmental dosage achieve an appreciable level of immunity?
If you see what I mean !
