So, it won't desperately matter if you were a few weeks over on getting boosters done, although this is not as certain if this is the first yearly booster. RCVS guidance is changing to allow us to do routine vaccinations but it will still be a case of taking precautions at ht e point of contact to reduce risk of exposure. HTH no doubt some practices will adopt slightly different strategies in this glorious mess called Covid-19

She was treated as a dog with no immunity last may (17.5.2019) and given both lots. I know from experience that she's OK to mid June, but I don't want to expose her past that. I've seen a pet in the past suffer from a disease that a simple jab would protect, so I'm prepared to make sure she does not suffer any failing on her part from my lack of ensuring her vacs are up to ate.

I had an email from my vet last week as Bruce is due his booster, they've cancelled everything and said they'll reinstigate when they can, and if its under 3 months then a booster will be fine. If not however they will do the full set again and only charge for the booster

Thanks for the replies. I normally use PDSA as I prefer to let them have any profit on the task. I've asked them for how they do it and am waiting for an answer. It might be that we have to quarantine our dogs till we can get jabs done.
