CALIFORNIA RABIES AWARENESS CHALLENGE
Thurs., June 6
10:00-11:00am (PDT)
Speaker: Richard Ford, DVM, MS, DACVIM, DACVPM
Moderated by: Amy Auch, DVM, CCFP
Rabies control activities are an important function of California shelters and animal control agencies. Why are rabies vaccines important? What does rabies look like in domestic animals and how risky is this to humans? Rabies vaccine is the ONLY vaccine among the various biologics administered to companion animals in California that is regulated under State law, and it is the responsibility of every licensed veterinarian to practice within the context of law when managing patients with respect to rabies and rabies vaccination. This scenario-based presentation has been developed to challenge participants on California regulatory/statutory issues pertaining to rabies.
The audience will be tasked to provide the correct (legal) responses to a variety of situations encountered in practice relating to rabies: eg, what does “currently vaccinated” (in law) actually mean? What are the consequences for the patient, and the owner, following rabies exposure if the patient is "currently vaccinated" vs NOT "currently vaccinated?” Who has rabies vaccination exemption authority? How do we vaccinate hybrid species? What is Prospective Serological Monitoring? When is it recommended that we vaccinate our staff?
