2. Intradermal - this is given under a layer of skin which is very effective, but does take a little more "skill" Also has the advantage of requiring less vaccine, resulting in a considerable cost advantage
Both methods require the same "course" ect....
So my question is which method did you have...........and did it work :confused1: ( not expecting any replies to that last bit other than "yes" )
I am planning to seek more professional advice on this before making my decision. But I guess it will depend on what is available in my area.

I had my 3 jabs in 2007 (for South America) intramuscular.
2 months ago, I had a single booster (valid 3 years) again intramuscular.
My husband was told, however, in another clinic, that the 1007 jabs would still be giving protection and a booster was not necessary. go figure...
Was never bitten so until now, I don't know if it works. A blood analysis would reveal it, but it is very expensive (I had to do it to import my dog from Brazil to the UK so I know! $$$$$!)
