Vaccine-Associated Pet Cancers
by Annie Berthold-Bond, Care2.com Producer, Green Living Channels

A growing body of evidence is linking pet vaccines to sacrcomas. Tumors are growing where the vaccines were injected in anywhere from 1 in 1,000 to 1 in 10,000 vaccine injections. While most sarcomas are in cats, dogs can also be victims.

 


 		 Simple Solution:

A growing body of evidence is linking pet vaccines to sacrcomas. Tumors are growing where the vaccines were injected in anywhere from 1 in 1,000 to 1 in 10,000 vaccine injections. While most sarcomas are in cats, dogs can also be victims.

Speak with your vet about the most important vaccines for your pet, and decide together which ones to skip. The University of Colorado has offered a vaccine protocol that can be found at this website. If you notice a small lump develop at the site of a vaccination site contact your vet immediately.

The Vaccine-Associated Feline Sarcoma Task Force (VAFSTF) has been formed in response to the increased incidence of soft tissue sarcomas occurring at vaccine sites. The goals of the VAFSTF are to facilitate investigation of the epidemiology, etiopathogenesis, treatment, and prevention of these malignancies, as well as to disseminate information to veterinarians and the cat-owning public.

Two brochures— Vaccines and Sarcomas: A Concern for Cat Owners, and Feline Vaccines: Benefits and Risks—have been published by the Vaccine Associated Feline Sarcoma Task Force, and the text can be found here .

Press releases from VAFSTF are available here. A pdf file of the 2000 Report of the American Association of Feline Practitioners and Academy of Feline Medicine Advisory Panel on Feline Vaccines is available at this link.
