During the spring of 2008, a significant increase in the number of cases of canine parvovirus infection was noted in the Tuskegee/Macon County community. This outbreak was thought to be related to the prevailing weather conditions, as there had been a notable increase in the amount of rain received after many months of drought conditions. In an effort to stem the development of a possible epidemic outbreak in the local communities, the School of Veterinary Medicine at Tuskegee University offered free parvovirus vaccinations for puppies and dogs over 6 weeks of age and less than 12 months to residents of Macon and surrounding counties. Two vaccine clinics were held at the Small Animal Teaching Hospital, one in March, and another three weeks later in April. A large number of dogs were vaccinated at the clinics. While it cannot be proven to be a result of these vaccinations, the number of parvovirus infected dogs that were presented to the Small Animal Teaching Hospital, dropped to a range even smaller than normally seen during the spring and summer months. Additionally, many of the dogs who received the two free vaccinations were presented to the clinic again three weeks later as routine appointments for their final booster and their rabies vaccination. Overall, the program was very successful.
