Overvaccination Risks: A Vet's Perspective on Balancing Pet Health and Vaccination Needs

Overvaccination of pets is a controversial topic with serious health implications? 🤔
In the latest episode of Call the Vet Show, I delved into the hot potato issue of vaccination, addressing the concerns and risks associated with overvaccination. 🎙️
