Vaccination & standard of care using TITER testing

  • Course
  • 13 Lessons

This course covers the types of vaccines, classification of vaccines as core and non-core, the reasoning behind the use of multiple vaccines in primary vaccination of puppies and kittens related to the blocking effects of maternally-derived antibody (MDA) against vaccine antigens, revaccination protocols based on the duration of immunity (DOI) and the use of serological testing to assist with decision making on vaccination (whether a pup has responded to primary vaccination, whether an animal that has previously suffered an adverse reaction to vaccination requires revaccination, to determine the best vaccination protocol for an adult dog with ‘lapsed’ vaccination or of unknown vaccination history) and to reduce vaccine load in an individual animal.

Module 1. Vaccination and Titer Tests

As demand for vaccine titers increased, veterinary laboratories and clinics began offering antibody titer panels for dogs and cats. In response, Biogal Galed Labs developed in-clinic antibody tests. 

This course will cover vaccination guidelines,  antibody titers measurements,  interpretation and applications in veterinary practices.

        Module 2. Titer Tests Clinical Applications

        In this module, we cover immune status, protection, herd immunity, duration of immunity, and vaccination titer assessment in clinical practice.
        Certain vaccines provide immunity against disease for up to several years – but not for every animal or in all circumstances. Vaccination schedules should be based on the animal's age, size, health, and lifestyle.
        Each individual animal responds differently to vaccinations, and some lifestyles provide more opportunities for exposure to disease.

                Module 3. VacciCheck: in-clinic antibody titer test

                This presentation gives you an overview of Biogal's Point of Care Titer Testing Kits. As a veterinarian, you will learn how to use the kit and in which circumstances to recommend titer testing to your client.
