| Rabies Vaccine Hello everyone. I have a question about going from Mexico into the States with my baby. I have to have a rabies vaccine done at least 30 days before traveling and I've read on some sites that it needs to be an unexpired rabbies certificate. Now here's my problem. My baby's certificate expires October 31st of this year. I want to travel from October 20-October 25 to the States from Mexico. Do I need to have the rabies vaccine re-done, or is the current one still valid for that time period? Thank you for your help.

Phantom Queen Morrigan Donating Member | if she's due for her rabies at the end of the month you can get it done a little early. it won't hurt. however, i know with traveling to other countries, some places like them to have the vaccine done a specific amount of time before hand even if the old one is still current. OR they want titers done to verify. i'd double check the regulations and make sure you do exactly what they want.

Double check the laws because if you vaccinate now and bring the new rabies certificate, it will may look like your dog hasn't been vaccinated for 30 days.

| The vet here gives me a little brochure type card with all of the vaccination dates and the little labels as well. So the vet would most likely write October X, 2010 for the next year's vaccine. I actually was worried when I flew with her home the first time last year. She was supposed to have the vaccine sometime in November, if we followed the schedule the vet had set up. That date was written down on her vaccination card. But since it needed to be done 30 days before, I had it done at the end of October. The vet just wrote down October 31, 2009 next to the November date. I didn't get any drama at customs, which was what was really worrying me. The vet said how it was written shouldn't give me any problems..and he was right. I found this website from the CDC, but it isn't specific about dogs that are already vaccinated, but the certificate is about the expire. Here is the link: Bringing an Animal into the United States | CDC DGMQ Thank you for the help everyone.
