... they told me that the one year had fewer additives and the 3 year actually carried more risk of injection site sarcoma because it had more additives in it to make it effective for 3 years. Therefore they do not give the 3 year there. Vaccines, including Rabies, vary in ingredients by

Personally, I don't vaccinate at all any more. Phaewryn It is against the law to adopt out cats here without vaccinating them for rabies, so I want to use the least harmful method. Thanks for the link!

Rabies vaccination is a state law driven than anything else ---I live in NM, either annual or every 3 years (they use a different vaccine type).. but my vet recommend does not require 3 year vaccine for cats (too strong for a small body). Regardless I hope that you do not vaccine your
