A fund has been set up to support a long-term Rabies Vaccine Challenge
Study. Pets were typically vaccinated annually but studies indicate
that the one year rabies vaccine is actually effective for three
years and possibly even longer. As a result many states have changed
their laws and no longer require vaccination on an annual basis.
_________________________________________
World-renown vaccine research scientist and practicing veterinarian,
Dr. W. Jean Dodds of California, and pet vaccine disclosure advocate,
Kris L. Christine of Maine, have established The Rabies Challenge
Fund to raise money to fund a 7 year rabies vaccine challenge study
in the United States.
In addition to the challenge study, the fund will finance a study
of the adjuvants used in veterinary rabies vaccines and establish
a rabies vaccine adverse reaction reporting system.
Rabies vaccination is the one immunization required by law across
the country for domestic dogs and cats. Researchers believe this
vaccine cause the most and worst adverse reactions in animals.
The Rabies Challenge Fund has been founded to improve the safety
of rabies vaccines and to determine, by challenge, if they confer
immunity for 5, 6, or 7 years.
The
Rabies Challenge Fund’s first official sponsors are
Deb Odom (Florida) and Dawn Turner (Arizona), who have committed
to donating a portion of the proceeds from the sale of their
pet vaccine informed consent posters and informational flyers.
