The Task Force believes that there is currently insufficient research to justify recommending a single vaccine type. Since injection site sarcomas are a risk, the Task Force recommends vaccination in the lower distal limbs to facilitate clean margins if surgical amputation is required.

These new guidelines encourage communication with the pet owner about how your team assesses disease risk and makes vaccine recommendations.
