Yes most of your animal control employees are vaccinated every two years due to dealing with wildlife and stray dogs that are not vaccinated. A lot of vets will require their techs also due to dealing with animals. A raccoon can have rabies its entire life and never show signs, also a person infected with rabies may not show any clinical signs for up to 10 years. I have done a lot of research on this in the last few days. The manufacture of the vaccine was Aventis Pasteur only 4 lots were distributed to the us the lot numbers are X0667-2, X0667-3, W1419-2 and W1419-3. I have had to contact the U.s. Department of health and human services Vaccine Adverse Event Reporting Systems and having to fill out all kinds of forms. I just wanted everyone on Pet talk to be aware because I know alot of you are in the rescue organizations and some of them require workers to be vaccinated.
