Rhetts_mama,
Actually, if you read the Forsyth County ordinance, it allows you to have the 3 year vaccine.
Forsyth Countyhttp://www.forsythco.com/pdf/files/A...NAL%208709.pdf "Vaccinate, inoculate shall mean the injection of a specified dose of anti-rabies vaccine by a veterinarian into the proper site of an animal, such vaccine having the U.S. Department of Agriculture Veteirnary Biologics Control Section license number approval stamped on the label of the container and having been approved by the Georgia Department of Human Resources." GEORGIA --http://www.health.state.ga.us/pdfs/epi/zvbd/Rabies%20Manual%202007%20Final%20with%20Cover.pdf which states as follows:
Currently Vaccinated Against Rabies -- An animal is "currently vaccinated" adn is considered immunized against rabies if a vaccination certificate documents that the animal received a USDA-approved primary rabies vaccine from a licensed veterinarian at least 28 days previously and that booster vaccinations have been administered on an annual or triennial schedule, in accordance with the Compendium of Animal Rabies Prevention and Control (see pages 50-60) or as described on the vaccine label.
