Vaccination requirements for the World Championships and World Masters Dryland 2023, Ólvega, Spain
Required vaccinations for all dogs, including dogs not racing: Rabies, Distemper, Leptospirosis, Adenovirus-2 (Hepatitis and tracheo-bronchitis), Parvovirus and "Kennel cough" (Parainfluenza and Bordetella bronchiseptica).
All vaccines must have been administered more than 21 days before the official day of the opening of the stake-out (NOT the day when the dog starts to race!) Validity of vaccinations as stated in the dog´s passport. To evaluate the validity of vaccinations ONLY the ”dog passport” or the ”dog vaccination booklet” will be taken in consideration. These documents must show for each vaccination the date of injection with the stamp and the signature of the veterinary who did it.
Note 1) Kennel cough vaccinations have to protect against BOTH Parainfluenza AND Bordetella bronchiseptica (as with INTRANASAL or INJECTABLE vaccines). Only if the dog is protected with an injectable vaccine against Parainfluenza given no longer than 1 (one) year before (as in DHPPi vaccine), then the ORAL vaccine for Bordetella bronchiseptica is accepted.
Yours sincerely
Ninni Hjortvall
IFSS Vice President of Sport
