Description
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.

Hi Bethany, To the best of my knowledge, R&R only give the 3 year. It could be they are doing as my vet in Gordonsville is doing - giving the three year, but
Hi Heidi Charlie said he uses 3-yr vaccine, but the certificate is only good for one year. Don't know if he would reissue it or not. Worth a try to ask ...
Hey Melba. It's Heidi, Brigitte's friend :). I was thinking I'd seen dogs from Williamson County with 3 years. I haven't taken the time to check it either. Oh
According to Charlie Beauchamp local ordinance in Williamson County requires once a year vacc., as it is in Davidson County. I haven't looked into this myself.
