De-orphaning this article
I have given this article a more descriptive name and add links to it from other relevant sites. It should be expanded or merged as appropriate. --Sophitessa (talk) 07:31, 4 August 2009 (UTC) i expanded the article with a section on the seuriousness of distemper and a see also section,however it is still a stub and needs much more expansion.if the article is not expanded significantly within the next few months,it should be merged with the canine distemper page.Immunize (talk) 16:59, 8 January 2010 (UTC)

Poorly phrased, very misleading! How long a vaccine lasts completely depends upon which disease, what type (killed, modified live), even the company that makes it all will change how long they last by YEARS! I cannot stress that there is NO set length any vaccine will last. Please, people should be urge to speak with a holistic vet, if that is their belief system, before making any decisions how long a particular vaccine will last. Blood tests can be done to ensure the dog's immune system still retains the antibody. They just require a small sample. This is the safest thing to do if you are considering pushing the limits of the manufacturer's recommended length. It balances the protection of a vaccine while minimizing the risks, and allowing you peace of mind that your dog is 100% protected, despite the off-label usage (meaning that you are using the vaccine in a way that has not yet been tested sufficiently to be legally represented). I'm a veterinary technician. When in doubt, always talk to your veterinarian. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 70.50.190.4 (talk) 17:27, 30 May 2011 (UTC)

Weasel words
"all reputable veterinarians..." --Lance W. Haverkamp (talk) 22:41, 2 May 2013 (UTC)

Inaccuracies
"A2 for both adenovirus type 1 and adenovirus type 2" "Because infectious canine hepatitis is covered by adenovirus type 1, an H is sometimes used instead of A (for just adenovirus type 1) or A2 (for both type 1 and type 2), to show that hepatitis is covered (as in DHPP)."

These statements are inaccurate. All of this type of vaccine now carry only adenovirus type 2 which provides cross-immunity against adenovirus type 1 (also known as canine hepatitis virus).
