Vaccines during pregnancy?
My mare is now about 2 months pregnant and I'm working out a schedule for everything I need to do with her. This is something I'm gonna to talk to my vets about but in the meantime what vaccines do I need to be giving her and when? I'm in the UK and she normally gets flu and tetanus.
Its not which ones are safe as her flu and tetanus are fine it's which extra ones she needs as I know about the rhino shots at 5,7 and 9 months but am not sure if thats UK as well as the states and if there's anything else she needs.

I'm posting the American Association of Equine Practitioners vaccination guidelines, which among other information, includes recommended core vaccines and risk-based vaccines for here in the US. It should get you started and any specific information regarding your local area can be obtained with a phone call to a local veterinarian.

UK mares are given Herpes vaccinations 5-7-9 months gestation.
We normally give Flu and Tet vaccination 6 weeks before they are going to foal. But your vet might have a different plan.
Rhino isn't something that has ever been mentioned. Our vets cover a wide area of studs.

Talk to your vet. they should know which are safe for a horse in foal. As long as they are safe for the foal they are used just as in their regular schedule.
