A growing body of evidence is linking pet vaccines to sacrcomas.
Tumors are growing where the vaccines were injected in anywhere from
1 in 1,000 to 1 in 10,000 vaccine injections. While most sarcomas
are in cats, dogs can also be victims.

Simple Solution:
A growing body of evidence is linking pet vaccines to
sacrcomas. Tumors are growing where the vaccines were injected
in anywhere from 1 in 1,000 to 1 in 10,000 vaccine injections.
While most sarcomas are in cats, dogs can also be victims.
Speak with your vet about the most important vaccines for
your pet, and decide together which ones to skip. The
University of Colorado has offered a vaccine protocol that can
be found at this
website. If you notice a small lump develop at the site of
a vaccination site contact your vet immediately.
The
Vaccine-Associated Feline Sarcoma Task Force (VAFSTF) has
been formed in response to the increased incidence of soft
tissue sarcomas occurring at vaccine sites. The goals of the
VAFSTF are to facilitate investigation of the epidemiology,
etiopathogenesis, treatment, and prevention of these
malignancies, as well as to disseminate information to
veterinarians and the cat-owning public.
Two brochures— Vaccines and Sarcomas: A Concern for Cat
Owners, and Feline Vaccines: Benefits and Risks—have been
published by the Vaccine Associated Feline Sarcoma Task Force,
and the text can be found
here .
Press releases from VAFSTF are available
here. A pdf file of the 2000 Report of the American
Association of Feline Practitioners and Academy of Feline
Medicine Advisory Panel on Feline Vaccines is available at
