MacInnes, known as Puck, is a grinder â sailingâs equivalent of a football lineman. With their brawn, he and other grinders operate hand-powered winches that raise and trim the sails, move the boom and do other tasks that require brute strength. But MacInnes has fallen victim to legal maneuvering and technology.
A study of a cross section of puppies showed that at 6 weeks, only 25 percent of puppies vaccinated were effectively immunized. At 9 weeks, that increased to 40 percent. At 16 weeks, 60 percent responded to the vaccination, and at 18 weeks, that number increased to 95 percent.
This is the recommended timeline for puppy vaccinations. Puppies normally get their first shots around 8 weeks old, but they can be given earlier if needed (ie with stray, abandoned pups or those who were formula fed). Three sets of combination vaccinations (a shot that protects against more than one disease) given at 3 week intervals. 8 weeks - first round.
