For the first time veterinary experts are willing to do a long-term rabies vaccine study. This will include research of the adjuvantsused in veterinary rabies vaccines, and establish a Rabies Vaccination Adverse Reaction Reporting System. It will also show just how long a rabies vaccination is protective, referred to as Duration Of Immunity (DOI). These kinds of studies are very expensive and not in the manufacturer’s interest to conduct since less vaccinations would mean lower sales of vaccines and less income for them. Thankfully a fund has been established in order to pay for this much needed work on behalf of our companion animals:
