What are the potential risks of vaccinating old, immunosuppressed, or pregnant animals?

<p>Old and immunosuppressed animals may have a reduced immune response to vaccination. Live attenuated vaccines should be used with caution in immunosuppressed animals. Pregnant animals may experience fever response that can cause pregnancy loss.</p> Signup and view all the answers

What is the significance of giving multiple doses of vaccine to a naïve animal?

<p>Multiple doses of vaccine are given to boost the immune response in naïve animals. The second and third immunizations increase the IgG antibody response, leading to the production of more effective antibodies. Repeated immunizations also enhance the affinity of antibodies, resulting in affinity maturation and optimal immune protection.</p> Signup and view all the answers

What can happen if a vaccine is given too soon to an animal with maternally derived antibodies?

<p>If a vaccine is given too soon to an animal with maternally derived antibodies, the antibodies can neutralize the vaccine before it has a chance to evoke an immune response. This can create an immunity gap and prevent the animal from developing proper immunity.</p> Signup and view all the answers
