vaccine antibodies instead of unnecessarily re-vaccinating our companion
animals. She has written excellent articles that everyone, especially our
veterinarians, should read.
GREAT NEWS!
The
Rabies Challenge Fund
This is the answer to many of our
prayers! For decades, too many animals have been over-vaccinated with dire
consequences. Rabies is the only legally required vaccination and
the laws vary from state-to-state in America. With this 'Challenge',
research will
finally provide the science upon which to base rabies vaccination
requirements. On behalf of companion animals world-wide, THANK YOU Dr. Dodds &
Ms. Christine!
