This list is intended for those interested in taking action to prompt the State of Tennessee to close the loophole in the law that allows counties and veterinarians to override the state's anti-rabies law, Title 68, Chapter 8 which specifies a 3 year rabies vaccine to be given no more often than once every 3 years. This group seeks to raise awareness about the known duration of immunity of the rabies vaccine, the adverse reactions associated with it, and to ensure that Tennessee's anti-rabies law calling for a 3 year rabies vaccine is consistently enforced statewide.
Discussion of the duration of all vaccines is open however the Rabies Vaccine will be the main focus of this list.
This group fully supports The Rabies Challenge Fund.
