I think it should be OPTIONAL. I will never vaccinate another pet for rabies while living in a city. It's too dangerous and scary IMO. If you saw how my Stewie was after his vaccine, you'd probably feel the same way. |
Kristy~ Get a waiver from your vet and they shouldn't have a problem.
Plus, if he had one shot then just show his tags and you should be fine.
There are a lot of places that SAY they require it but I have never actually had them review it carefully. All of mine have shot records from the shots they have had but they never look closely to see if they are CURRENT.
All but Ava has had one rabies vaccine, so they have tags and licenses but they will not have another rabies...and not because of the "adverse reactions at the time ot the shot", but because there is no proof that they work in the first place, a titer can be done to see if they still have immunity under the law (hopefully this will become the law and we can stop poisoning our pets unnecessarily), and there are sooooo many side effects that occur that don't show up until later in a dog's life. It can be a nightmare as it has for so many.
I trust the studies quoted and cited by Yorkieskater about the fact that the "boosters" dull the effectiveness of the original vaccine.
I agree with BamaFan...Each pet owner has to make the decision about what is in their dog's best interests. I am doing nothing against the law since my county allows a waiver signed by a vet. I would hope that other counties with low rabies incidences would do the same.
