What five questions are important to ask when inquiring about vaccinations?

Question 2

Why is taking a good history important to the diagnosis and treatment of the patient?

[mammy1697]

Answer to Question 1

Five questions to ask are:
What was given?
When?
Where on the animal and by what route?
How many in the herd were vaccinated?
Were there any reactions?

Answer to Question 2

History taking helps to rule in or rule out diseases and agents of disease. It helps us to identify
contributing causes to disease such as improper husbandry, nutrition, or management. A good
history will also help the doctor give a prognosis and prescribe a course of treatment. An
incomplete history may cause the doctor to perform unnecessary tests or prescribe
medications that have previously failed, costing the owner money, time, and potentially the
animal's life.
