Wilson county’s rabies vaccine ordinance requires dogs and cats to be vaccinated yearly.

The Rabies Challenge Fund trials have confirmed that the rabies vaccine may induce a duration of immunity well beyond 3 years. Those that have adopted a 3 year schedule do not have a higher rate of positive cases in domestic animals in comparison to those still on a 1 year schedule.

Surrounding counties touching Wilson -3/5 moves to 3-year schedule ….Bexar, Gonzales, Guadalupe (3year) ….Atascosa and Karnes (1year)

My vet will be meeting Monday 5/18 to discuss a petition change Section 5.1 Rabies Vaccination in the Wilson County Animal Control Ordinance from annually to every 3 years.

My vet and I had this discussion and I said I would help with the petition. PLEASE HELP OUR CATS AND DOGS FROM BEING OVER VACCINATED.
