REUTERS\/Mike Blake\/file photo<\/figcaption><p>The study of Canine Vaccination Hesitancy (CVH) by Boston University\u2019s School of Public Health was released on Aug. 26. It found 37% of owners consider dog vaccines to be unsafe, 22% of dog owners view them as ineffective, and 30% deem them unnecessary.<\/p>\n<p>In all, 53% of dog owners held one of these three views, according to the study, which was conducted in partnership with the market research and data analytics company YouGov.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWe knew that Canine Vaccine Hesitancy existed because of our anecdotal and lived in experiences. We didn\u2019t know how pervasive it was,\u201d assistant professor Matt Motta, the primary author of the study, told Reuters. He believes the study is the first of its kind.<\/p>\n<p>The rabies shot for canines is one of the only vaccines mandated in many U.S. states.<\/p>\n<p>However, veterinarians also try to persuade dog owners to get their pets vaccinated against other diseases. In California, vets recommend vaccines against parvovirus, canine hepatitis and distemper.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cIf there are more unvaccinated dogs out there, the risk of disease transmission grows and likewise for veterinarian professionals like my sister, for all of us who may come into contact with unvaccinated pets, we are potentially at risk of getting sick,\u201d Motta said.<\/p>\n<p>Todd Calsyn, a veterinarian at Laurel Pet Hospital in West Hollywood, said he was at first surprised that hesitancy was so great, but that the findings squared with questions he has received from dog owners.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI do think in this environment with the COVID vaccine and with everything that\u2019s going on &#8230; it\u2019s starting to be getting projected on the pets,\u201d Calsyn said.<\/p>\n<p>A UNICEF report in April found people all over the world lost confidence in the importance of routine childhood vaccines against killer diseases like measles and polio during the COVID pandemic.<\/p>\n<p>Patty Sosa, 42, a dog owner from Laguna Beach, described the study results as \u201cshocking.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cYou\u2019re trying to do your best but the other person refuses to do their part,\u201d Sosa said. \u201cIt\u2019s not fun.
