Can I vaccinate my horse myself?
No. Equine vaccinations must always be administered by a licensed veterinarian for legal and health reasons.
Detailed explanation
In Spain, the administration of vaccines to equids is reserved for licensed veterinarians. Vaccines must be recorded in the equine passport with a professional stamp and signature. Self-administering them carries health risks, potential unaddressed adverse reactions, and, in case of inspection, administrative sanctions. The cost of a veterinary visit for vaccination is affordable and guarantees correct storage and application of the product.
