Vaccines given by a veterinarian come from reputable sources and they have been properly handled from factory to your horse. Difference in temperatures can damage the vaccines making it less/not effective.
The manufactures of vaccines stand behind them when handled and given by a veterinarian. This becomes very important if your horse develops a local or general reaction to it. If the vaccine is given by a non veterinarian person, the horse is insured and develop a life threatening reaction, it is possible that you claim can be denied. It is important that your horse be healthy at the moment of vaccination to respond with a robust immunity.
