How old do you have to be to give shots, etc. at a vet office?

Question

Is there an age limit for giving vaccines or drawing blood in a veterinary clinic...like do you have to be 18 or older the be able to do things like that or can you just learn it and do it when you can (around ages 16 or 17 at the least)?

Answer 1

I am pretty sure you have to go to veterinary college and train just like a doctor goes to medical school. If you could do that by age 18 then you could give vaccines.

Answer 2

I would think being certified to do those things by a sanctioning body would be more important than age. Unless where you live doesn't require certification for that sort of thing.
