Guinea Pig Vaccinations?

[bumbling-bambi]

I've heard from a few people i ought to get my piglets vaccinated? Now I don't like to take everyones advice without a pinch of salt unless its either from a vet or from someone on here!
Are there vaccinations that my indoor pigs should have? If so what are the estimated costs? I didn't ask my vet as i didn't know it was a thing!

Guinea pigs in the uk don't need yearly vaccinations- it's rabbits that do :-)

There are no standard vaccinations for guinea pigs around the world that I have every heard of because there are no highly infectious diseases that can wipe out a whole population, unlike with other pets.

Good care and common place sensible hygiene like hand washing before and after you handle guinea pigs will take care of most preventable things.
