I'm scared of needles and I still get shots even though I hate them
the most important I think are the chicken pox one and the tetanus ones
and of course the COVID one
idrk what others I get tho

MMR.
I think smallpox is fully eradicated so you don't get that one anymore.
tetanus only last 10 years fyi
I couldn't think of any others so CDC recommendations

I’m dying

It probably would never happen but just still not really worth it to me, even if ya think it’ll never happen, given it’s such an extremely deadly, horrible disease and easily preventable, but of course everyone is different

yeah our dogs get it because they go places so it's a liability issue. but our cats dont even though they're indoor/outdoor. it's apparently pretty rare for them to get it.

that's the only vaccine I pay the vet for. I give them the 10 in 1 combo shot myself.

definitely not recommended if your dog is very wiggly but if they're good at staying still, its easy

oooh I gave tiny shots to tiny baby squirrels once
they were bloated from the transition from mothers milk to formula and needed a med to help move things along on their insides because things getting stopped up is really really bad.
