In this webinar we will discuss some of the underlying principles of why we vaccinate that underpin our preventative healthcare strategy for most of our patients. How do we select the most appropriate vaccine protocol for a particular patient? How frequently should we booster vaccine? Should we titre test? How do we fit modified vaccination protocols into a preventative medicine strategy if client perceptions of preventative medicine programs are limited to, “I’m just here for the needles.” There is no one-size-fits-most answer to any of these questions, but by the end of the webinar, we hope you feel equipped to answer client and colleague questions about why we do what we do.

Aaron is originally from the USA where he completed his DVM from Texas A&M University in 1998. After spending a few years in the US Army Veterinary Corps, Aaron spent the next 10 years in small animal private practice in Connecticut and Texas. During this time, he practiced emergency-exclusive, general, and exotic animal practice. Aaron always wanted to focus on teaching and clinical research, so in 2010 he returned to academia to pursue a combined PhD and Small Animal Internal Medicine residency at Oklahoma State University in Stillwater, Oklahoma. The focus of his graduate research was in feline diabetes and novel treatments for the disease. He joined the faculty at the University of Queensland School of Veterinary Science in 2015 where he is a Senior Lecturer in Small Animal Internal Medicine. Aaron’s clinical research focus is in the field of endocrinology.
