Prepared byThe National Association of State Public Health Veterin�rians, Inc.
P.O. Box 13528 I Baltimore, Maryland 21203
- Part I: Recommendations for Immunization Procedures
The purpose of these recommendations is to provide information on rabies vaccines to practicing veterinarians,public health
o/ficials, and others concerned with rabies cont�ol. This documeni will serve as the basis lor animal rabies vaccination pro-
grams throughout the United Stafes. !ts adoption by cooperating organizations rvill result in standardization of procedures
among jurisdictions which is necessary for an effective nationa/rabies contro/program. These recommendations are reviewed
and revised as necessary prior to the beginning of each calendar year. Al!animal rabies vaccines licensed by the USOA and
marketed in the United States are /isted in Part ll of ihe Compendium and Pa�t///describes the princip/es of rabies coniro/.
A. VACCINE ADMINISTRATION: It is recommended that all animal rabies vaccines be restricted to use by or under the
supervision of a veter►narian. . - > ,� ; '
B. VACClNE SEIECTION:While recognizing the efficacy of vaccines with a one-year duration of immumty,the Committee
recommends the use of vaccines with three-year duration of immunity because their use constitutes the most effective
method of increasing the proportion of immunized dogs and cats in comprehensive rabies control programs.
C. ROUTE OF INOCULATION: All rabies vaccines must be administered intramuscularly at one (1)site in the thigh.
D. HIGH RISK RABIES AREA:An area(town,city,or county)where a high incidence of rabies exists in wildlife or domestic "
species as determined by state health officials may be declared a High Risk Rabies Area.In such areas the public should
be alarted to the risk and urged to make sure that their dogs and cats have current rabies vaccinations.State health of-
ficials may wish to consider temporarily altering revaccination schedules.
E. WILDLIFE VACCINATION: It is �ecommended that•neither wild nor exotic animals be kept as pets.Since no rabies vac- `
cine is licensed for use in wild animals and since there is no evidence that animal rabies vaccines produce acceptable
levels of immunity in wild animals, vaccination is not recommended.
F. ACCiDENTAL HUMAN EXPOSURE TO VACCINE:Accidental inoculation may occur in individuals during administration
of animal rabies vaccine.Such exposures to inactivated vaccines constitute naknown rabies hazard.There have been no
cases of rabies resutting from needle or other exposure to a licensed modified live virus vaccine in the United Stat�s.
G. IDENTIFICATION OF VACCINATED DOGS:It is recommended that all govemment agencies and veterinarians adopt t�'`�e
standard tag system. This will aid the administration of local, state, national and intemational procedures. Dog license -
tags should not conflict in shape and color with rabies tags. � -

3. QUARANTINE
(a.) international. Present regulations (CFR No. 71154) governing the importation of wild and domesticated felines,
canines,and other potential vectors of rabies are minimal for preventing the introduction of rabid animals into the United
States. All dogs and cats imported from countries with endemic rabies should be vaccinated against rabies at least 30
days prior to entry into the United States. The Centers for Disease Control (CDC)are responsible for these animals im-
ported into the United States. Their requirements should be coordinated with interstate shipment requirements. The
health authority of the state of destination should be notified within 72 hours of any animal conditionally admitted into its
jurisdiction. '- .
The conditional admission into the United States of such animals must be subject to state and local laws governing
rabies. Failures to comply with these requirements should be promptly reported to the director of the COC.
(b.) lnterstate. Prior to interstate shipment,dogs and cats should be vaccinated against rabies according to the Compen-
dium's recommendations and preferabty shall be vaccinated at least 30 days prior to shipment.While in shipment,they
shoutd be accompanied by a currently valid NASPHV Form #50 Rabies Vaccination Certificate. One copy of the cer-
tificate should be mailed to the appropriate Public Health Veterinarian or State Veterinarian of the state of destination.
(c.) Health Certificates. If a certificate is required for dogs and cats in transit,it must not replace the NASPHV rabies vac-
� clnation certificate. _ _ . _ ---_. _ . -
' 4. ADJUNCT PROCFDURES ° ,.,
.. . , . .,. __
Methods orprocedures which enhance rabies control include: '
" (a) Licensu�e. Registration or licensure of all dogs and cats may be used as a means of rabies control by controlling the
stray animal poputation. Frequentty a fee is charged for such licensure and revenues collected are used to maintain a
- rabies or animal control program. Vaccination is usually recommended as a prerequisite to licensure. -
(b) Canvassin_q of area.This includes house-to-house calls by members of the animal control program to enforce vaccina-
_ tion and licensure requirements. `
(c) Citations. These are legal summonses issued to owners for violations including the failure to vaccinate or license
tdy 1Leash Laws. AIt c._ -- : . .;. . - .
( +ommunities should adopt ieash laws which can be incorporated in their animal control ordinances.
'' . 5. POST-EXPOSURE MANAGEMENT ' '' `
ANY DOMESTIC ANIMALTHAT IS BITTEN OR SCRATCHED BY A BAT OR BY A WILD,CARNIVOROUS MAMMAL WHICH
IS NOT AVAILABLE FOR TESTING SMOULD BE REGARDED AS HAVING BEEN EXPOSED TO A RABID ANIMAL.
(a) When bitten by a rabid animal,unvaccinated dogs and cats should be destroyed immediately.If the owner is unwilfing
_ to have this done,the unvaccinated animal should be placed in strict isolation for six months and vaccinated one moMh :=�
before being released.Dogs and cats that are currently vaccinated should be revaccinated immediately,leashed and con-
, fined for 90 days.
(b) Livestock.All species of livestock are susceptible to rabies infection;cattle appear to be among the most susceptible
- of all domestic animal species. Livestock known to have been bitten by rabid animals should be destroyed(slaughtered)
immediately. If the owner is unwilling to have this done, the animal should be kept under very close observation for six
months. _ .
Regarding the management of livestock exposed to rabid animals,the following recommendations and considerations
are suggested:
(1)If slaughtered within 7 days of being bitten,tissues may be eaten without risk of infection providing liberal portions
of the exposed area are discarded. Federal meat inspectors will reject for slaughter any animal that has been exposed to
rabies within eight months. - "
: (2) No tissues or secretions from a clinically rabid animat should be used for human or animal consumption. However,
as pasteurization temperatures will inactivate rabies virus, the drinking of pasteurized milk or eating of completely cook-
ed meat does not constitute a rabies exposure. -`
,.
C. CONTROI METHODS IN WILD ANIMALS � ` ` ' �
` . 1. TERRES7RtAL MAMMALS '
. � Since�there is no evidence that these costly programs reduce either wildlife reservoirs or rabies incidence on a statewide
basis, persistent,continuous and routine trapping or p�isoning campaigns as a means of wildlife rabies control should
be abolished. However, limited control in high contact areas(picnic grounds,camps,suburban areas)may be indicated .
fior the removal of selected high risk species of wild animals.The public should be warned not to handle vuild animals.The
state game department should be consulted early to manage any eliminatio� programs when requested to do so by the
state health departmeM. ,
: 2. BATS
(a) Rabid bats have been reported from every state except Hawaii,and have caused human rabies infections in the United
' " States. It is neither feasible nor practical, however, to control rabies i� bats by areawide bat population reduction
programs:
(b) Bats should be eliminated from houses and surrounding structures to prevent direct association with people.Such
' structures shoutd then be made bat-proof by sealing routes of entrance with screen or other means.
} (c) A person bitten by a bat or any witd animal should immediately report the incident to a physician or hospital emer-
gency room which wiil evaluate the need for antirabies treatment (see current Rabies Prophylaxis Recommendation of
the Public Health Service Advisory Committee on Immunization Practices). Bats and wild carnivorous mammals that bite
� people should be kitled and sent to the laboratory for examination for rabies.

� Part 111: Principles of Rabies Confrol
These guidelines have been prepared by the National Assocration of State Public Health Veterinarians(NASPHV)/or use by
government o/licials,practicing veterinarians and others who may become involved in certain aspects ol rabies control.!t is in-
fended that the NASPHV will annually review and revise these recommendations as necessary. Standardized cont�ol pro-
cedures a�e needed to effective/y dea/ with the public health aspects ol rabies.
A. PRINCIPLES OF RABIES CONTROL �
L THE D/SEASE /N HUMANS: Rabies in humans can be prevented by eliminating ekposure to rabid animals and by
prompt local wound treatment and immunization when exposed.Current recommendations of the Public Health Service
Aduisory Committee on Immunization Practices are suggested for�onsideration by attending physicians. The recom-
mendations along with the current status of animal rabies in the region and information concerning the avaitability of
rabies biologics are available from state health departmeMs.
2 DOMESTIC ANIMALS: Local governments should i�itiate and maintain effective programs�to remove strays and un-
wanted animals and ensure vaccination of all dogs and cats. Since cat rabies cases now equal the annual incidence in
dogs,immunization of cats should be emphasized.Such pro�edures in the U.S.have reduced laboratory confirmed rabies
cases in dogs from 8,000 in 1947 to 216 in 1981.The recommended vaccination procedures and the licensed animal vaa
cines are specified in Parts I and II of the NASPHV's annually released Compendium.
� 3. RAB/ES/N WILDL/FE:The control of rabies in foxes, skunks, raccoons,and other terrestrial animals is very difficutt.
Selective reduction of these populations when indicated may be useful, but the utility of this procedure depends heavily
upon the circumstances surrounding each rabies outbreak. -
B. CONTROL METHODS IN DOMfSTIC AND CONFINED ANIMALS
1. P�tE-EXPOSURE VACCINAT/ON AND MANAGEMENT � -
Animal rabies vaccines,because of species limitations,techniques and tolerances,should be administered only by or
under the direct supervision of a veferinarian.Within one month after vaccination,a peak rabies antibody titer is reached
and the animal can be considered to be immunized(see Parts I and II of the Compendium for recommended vaccines and
procedures). _
(a) DOGS AND CATS
- All dogs and cats should be vaccinated against rabies commencing at three months of age and revaccinated in ac-
cordance with Part U of this Compendium.
(b) LIVESTOCK .
It is not economically feasible, nor is it justified from a public health standpoint,to vaccinate all livestock against .
rabies. Owners of valuabte animals and veterinary clinicians may consider immunizing certain breeding stock
located in areas where wildlifie rabies is epizootic.
. (c) OTHER ANIMALS
(1). AN/MALS MA/NTA/NED !N EXHIBITS AND 1N ZOOLOGlCAL PARKS
Captive animals not completely excluded from a�l contact with local vectors of rabies can become infected with
rabies. Moreover, such animals may be incubating rabies when captured.�Exhibit animals, especially those car-
� nivores and omnivores having contact with the viewing public, should be quarantined for a minimum of 180 days.
Since there is no rabies vaccine licensed for use in wild animals, vaccination even with inactivated vaccine is not
recommended. Pre-exposure rabies immunization of animal workers at such facilities is recommended and feduces
the need for euthanasia of valuable animals for rabies testing after they have bitten a handler. �
(2). WILD ANIMALS
Because of the existing risk of rabies in witd animals such as raccoons,skunks and foxes,the AVMA,the NASPHV
and the Conference of State and Territorial Epidemiologists strongly recommend the enactment of state �aws pro-
hibiting the interstate and intrastate importation, distribution and relocation of wifd animals. Further, these same
organizations continue to recommend the enactment of laws prohibiting the distribution and/or ownership of wild
animals as pets. '
2. STRAY AN/MAL CONTROL �
Stray animals should be removed from the community, especially in rabies epizootic areas. Local health department and
dog control officials can enforce the pick-up of strays inore efficiently if owned animals are confined or kept on leash
�rhen not confined. Strays should be irnpounded for at least three days to give owners sufficient time to reclaim animals
apprehended as strays.

Dear Mr. Kelley:
Your request for a review by the city attorney of a
proposed amendment to the St. Paul Legislative Code,
Chapter 199, pertaining to rabies control, has
been referred to me.
I have reviewed the proposed amendment and, in addition
to finding it legally sufficient, I think it is the best
way to handle this particular topic.
I have taken the liberty of preparing the proposed
amendment in ordinance form, and I enclose herewith
the completed proposed amendment.
If I can be of any further assistance, please do not
hesitate to contact me.
Very truly yours,
J� �. �'Ic.�E'u�C.
JANE A. McPEAK
Assistant City Attorney
