Purevax rabies shot - PHIL
Tiger just had his Purevax rabies shot. Is it still only good for one
year? I can't trust my vet on this because she recommends ALL shots to be given yearly. ---MIKE--- In the White Mountains of New Hampshire (44=B0 15' N - Elevation 1580') |

Purevax is only licensed for one year but the vaccines confer solid protection for much longer. Before re-vaccinating, you can have him titer-tested to see if he actually needs it. Most states don't accept titer-testing in lieu of vaccinations. So, if your state requires yearly rabies vax, his titer won't matter. If your state allows 3-year vax, I'd go with titers. Phil |

My vet uses Purevax, so if I go for a titer and he doesn't need a shot, I assume I won't get a new certificate, but the old certificate will have expired. A vet can't issue a new certificate because the certificate must state the date of vaccination and the vaccination expiration date as well as the type of vaccine (1yr/3yr) and the vax serial (lot) number. Titer testing is for the cat's benefit- not the law. Titer testing won't get around the law- but proving the cat has a protective titer would probably save his life in the event he bit someone or was bitten. Phil |
