Ferret owners and veterinarians should discuss the risks and benefits of annual vaccination. The results of this study, however, provide evidence that part of that discussion should be based on whether an individual ferret already has protection, and that many of them, in fact, will. Antibody titers have been shown to be well developed and long lasting in the majority of ferrets, and should be used as a tool to help make the decision of whether or not to administer a vaccination booster that has the potential of an adverse reaction. Download and print the AFA Vaccination Policy - published 2026. The American Ferret Association (AFA) recommends vaccinating ferrets with USDA licensed vaccine products labeled for use in ferrets. Recent changes in the availability of these products have caused shortages of approved vaccines. Use of vaccines that do not include ferrets on the manufacturer's label is an off-label usage; use these products only after consulting with a ferret knowledgeable veterinarian.
