Williamson County is 3. Call you health dept and ask them. Argue if they say no maybe then they will look it up. lol Billie'nGirls In a message dated...
Dear Friends: My book has just come out. It's small but it hits hard. It's presently available from iUniverse, Amazon.com and the Barnes and Noble website. I...
My Wmson. County vet said there was an annual requirement. Is this wrong? He gives the 3 yr with a one yr certificate. I assume you can get a new certificate...
One thing to remember is that there is a difference between requirement of an annual vaccination and an annual certificate. There is no reason why, if your...
I think you mean the first vaccination is considered good for only one year (regardless of?vaccine used)?and must be boostered in 12 months to start the three...
Hi Everyone: We are still sending "SAY NO TO FORCED VACCINATIONS" bumper stickers, free of charge, anywhere in the world. We are not asking for donations at...
PERMISSION TO CROSS-POST There have been many developments in state rabies laws across the country in which The Rabies Challenge Fund has had a leading role --...
I am still compiling stories of bad experiences owners and their pets have had regarding the rabies vaccine and dealing with veterinarians over the vax....
Argh!!!! So the code states as follows: " 68-8-103. Vaccination of animals — Certificate and tags — Frequency. — (a) It is unlawful for any person to...
You have to dig it out of the compendiumd Melba ... From: Elizabeth <elizabeth.teselle@...> To: RabiesVaccinationChallengeinTN@yahoogroups.com Sent:...
... I don't understand. This is the Compendium, no? http://www.cdc.gov/mmwr/preview/mmwrhtml/rr5702a1.htm That's from the CDC -- it's not law. It's just a...
... OK-- I think I get it. The compendium says 3 years is good and nothing more frequent has been shown to be better; the TN Code says that nothing in the...
T 68 Ch 8 sec 103 - further down in this subsection it says - (i) Nothing in this section shall be construed to require more frequent rabies vaccinations or a...
Right. Howwever, instead of forcing your vet you may want to ask the head of your health department to speak with the vet and explain the law. Vets do not have...
And remember, first vac. is one year, second is a year later, whether 3 yr vac. is used or not, then you can go to three year. This is pretty much accepted as...
... The first rabies shot is given before 6 months of age and the second is given a year later and it should be the three year. Then there will not need to be...
Yes, Jan, that's what I meant to say. No matter what vaccine is used, it is expected the dog have a booster in one year. Even if the first is not given until,...
... Thanks, Melba. It made sense the first time, but I read it a couple of different ways at first, so just wanted to restate what you were so good to write in...
Elizabeth, Go back and read TN code 68-8-105. It shows exemptions the the Tn law. Basically, it says that if a city or county has a rabies law in place, then...
Linda This is just my own opinion: It's true that a county or municipal ordinance can override the state law. That's why we should amend the state law. But in...
Forgive me as I am new to TN but why does anyone go to the local government? It is the Health Department that has final say on rabies issues if there is no...
Hi there, in an effort to standardize rabies prevention and control measures and assure compliance by pet owners, the National Association of State Public...
Well doesn't the health department enforce local ordinance? And how would you change the HD attitude without using your elected officials? I don't actually...
How often do you think Tennessee state law requires dogs to have rabies booster vaccinations? Only once every three years. Surprised? Well, so was I --...
Why 2 rabies shots a year apart? It's actually science based logic. Tests by serology have shown that an animal with only one rabies inoculation may still be...
canine rabies has been eliminated in the United States. Rabies does exist, though, in wildlife, doesn't it? Or is that an urban myth pushed by the vets? Melba ...
... There are several strains of rabies. "Canine rabies" has been eliminated, but there is still skunk and racoon rabies which can be transmitted to dog,...
... Melba, Unfortunately this is a "good ole' boy state. In my county, we just had a commisioner arrested for vote buying. This same commisioner did not pay...
Linda My point (not well made) was change only comes when it is politically significant. And annnoying the local officials is part of that. There are more of...
