Hi Ester,
It takes a certain attitude to question laws, and those who are unwilling will just stick to the "safe road." It's okay, but animal owners who know the risks of following a law based on irrationality that can harm their animals have to navigate carefully.
It's clearly contraindicated to vaccinate any animal with chronic disease. Every vaccine is labeled for use in healthy animals only.
But here again, Dr. WhiteCoat does this all the time, often giving a steroid injection first to those they've identified as being reactive to the vaccine from past experience.
So, once more, it comes down to the guardian to be on alert and navigate their animal carefully through the maze of conventional medicine.
I wish it were easier, and hopefully, enough of us withholding our money from the vets, groomers, kennels, etc, that aren't sensible on this will have an impact.
