distemper booster, and has arrived on time by taxi. The receptionist has
checked her in and she and the puppy are waiting in exam room one. You
have taken the temp, pulse, and respiration and have weighed the puppy.

should be done? (a) Vaccine should be used since it is only one day past
its expiration date, (b) Vaccine should be used at twice its
recommended dose for added efficacy. (c) If a feline distemper vaccine
is available, it should be used instead. (d) Mrs. Jones should be given a
new appointment on the date after the next shipment of vaccines comes
