Did you know HORSES can contract West Nile Virus AND Eastern Equine Encephalitis? Vaccines are available for both! Make sure you're keeping your large friends up to date on their shots to prevent them from getting sick!

Horses are very susceptible to West Nile virus but the infection can be prevented with a vaccination. Quite often, horses have to be euthanized after contacting this virus and many have long-lasting or permanent disabilities. Keep your horses safe and vaccinate!! #mosquito
