I've provided an excerpt from Science Direct for you to read along with the link where you can read more about the disease(lepto) as you see fit.
"The Americas
The disease is absent from Canada and has been removed from the notifiable diseases list in the USA, where few annual cases occur, randomly related to recreational activities in fresh water. Hawaii is the exception, with an estimated annual incidence of 12.9 per million population."
Again, as I and other have stated, please wait to get rabies at least a month after the last DHPP and as a standalone vaccine. Contact Petsmart and ask them what vaccines are required for their puppy classes and if you can prolong recieving rabies for your puppy. Your vet can give the rabies vaccine with the DHPP but that doesn't mean he/she should. I suggest you wait two weeks after the last DHPP to attend any classes. |
