RE: OT-Rabies Vaccine

[Hideyo Yamamoto]

That’s very true.. actually I read some research in the past that they can be as effective as 5 years (one year vaccine).. again, it’s just easier to make money at the expense of our pets health if they make it annually.. again.. it’s driven by state regulation. again, they don’t do this to protect our animals so much but to protect human (unnecessarily) from rabies..   From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of [EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Monday, July 10, 2006 6:30 PM To: felvtalk@felineleukemia.org Subject: Re: OT-Rabies Vaccine   The "one year" rabies vaccines have been shown to be effective for 3 years in many cases. The trouble is getting the studies done to prove it, and getting manufacturer's to relabel their products. The "2 year" and "3 year" vaccines have been the ones that they have completed the studies on so far, and that the manufacturer's have chosen to relabel. It's not something that will happen very quickly, as the drug companies make MORE MONEY the more often you shoot their product into your pet, thus, the industry resistance to relabel and study duration periods of the vaccines they already produce.
