The point I was making (and wanted opinions on), is brand of vaccine. The high titre parvo vaccines are fairly effective at 6 weeks (there is enough deactivated virus to get past any remaining maternal antibodies). Everyone I talk to likes the ProGard hands down...but I either wait until tomorrow and do the 5-way myself (and I don't want to include the other 4 at this age), or accept a Vanguard DPV/MLV today and use the Progard 5 way shots at 9, 12, and 16 (send them home with the puppies). They were six weeks on Friday, and there is definitely a higher risk between now and 8 weeks due to the natural fading of the maternal antibodies.

From what I've researched, the Vanguard isn't one of the worst, but is not as effective as ProGard. Sigh - I can make more phone calls, or order 25 of the progard CPV doses overnight and throw the rest away...I have the 5 ways for week 9.
