Forgive me, but this question is a bit difficult for me to understand, because I'm assuming WHS refers to Workplace Health and Safety. If this is what you are referring to, then I would assume that you are giving the vaccination and the answer would be that the WHS considerations would be exactly the same as any other vaccine or injection... basically ensuring that you avoiding sticking yourself with the needle. There are no additional precautions that would need to take place. If you are meaning to ask if there are any additional complications for the dog, then the answer is maybe. The C7 includes Leptospirosis, which can have more potential for vaccine reactions. It is still a rare event, but a little less rare than the other vaccines. Vaccine reactions usually occur within the first 20 minutes, so I would make sure to stay at the vet office for at-least 20 minutes after the vaccine. If you notice vomiting, hives or breathing problems, then the dog will need to see a vet immediately. I hope that helps to answer your question. If it doesn't, then please repost and rephrase the question.
