Answers:

Vaccinated means they are protected from the virus and such. So what they are protected from you can not get from them. Its when they are not vaccinated is when to worry.

If your dog is vaccinated, what diseases are you talking about??

---

Umm no if he has his shots he shoulnd't get anything and you can't get it if you think it is really bad call your vet!

---

hell no!

---

I do not see how you could get a disease from a vacinated dog.

---

If your dog is well cared for: good healthy food source and clean water, vaccinated regularly, seen by a veterinarian on a at least yearly basis, and dewormed regularly and kept on heartworm and flea and tick prevention you should have minimal to worry about. So make a checklist from what I have mentioned here and complete it and you should be perfectly safe as will be your dog! Good luck!

sure, if it a disease your dog has not been vacinated by.

---

you cant get sick from a dog and plus vaccinated means they are blocking the disease it has!!

---

There aren't many things a human can get from a dog anyway, but vaccinations means just that, vaccinated not contagious. When you or your child gets a vaccine, you don't quaratine yourself and no one else gets it. Same way with animals.

if it has a vacine no. wat disease r u expecting to get .cooties?

---

This depends on what "disease" you are taking about. There are only two zoonotic diseases that are vaccinated for (disease which are transmitted between species - for example dog to human). If you were bit by your dog and think you will get rabies and he vaccinated against it it's very unlikely that you will get it. If the dog has a cold or flu virus it is possible for that to be transmitted but it would be just like if you got it from a human. This isn't that common but it can occur.

---

No, of course not. If you could, probably at least half the people in the world would be sick.

---

Only fleas!!

There are diseases that dogs can give to humans, and ther are no vaccines for. Brucellosis comes to my mind immediately.
