It used to be dogs that were among the biggest threat of\nspreading around the Rabies virus, but with the influx of modern innovation and\nawareness, canines are simply not affected as much here in the United States. As\na result of these changes, scientists are now suggesting that the Rabies virus\nposes the most risk of spreading in the raccoon population. For this reason,\nthey have come up with a fantastic way to reduce Rabies outbreaks in the U.S.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Rabies Vaccines for Raccoons<\/h1>\n\n\n\n

According to the field coordinator for the National Rabies\nManagement Program, Jordona Kirby, \u201cAnnual statistics indicate that raccoons\nare one of the number one species in which we see rabies cases every year.\u201d Since\na widely-accepted public and animal health initiative in the 70\u2019s, the U.S.\ngovernment has been dispersing oral rabies vaccines through the National Rabies\nManagement Program. In fact, this program has made history because it is the biggest\norganized effort to abate a zoonotic disease in wildlife ever in the United\nStates. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Although this program is said to cost around $28 million annually to keep it running, it is predicted to save tax payers up to $60 million since Rabies control will reduce needs like public health investigations, rabies testing, and availability to post-exposure vaccines for people. Currently, a fish meal polymer block that looks similar to a ketchup packet is the key to broad-range Rabies vaccination among raccoons. These fishy oral rabies vaccines are scientifically developed to attract raccoon\u2019s appetites; and when they bite into them, the packet splits open and releases the liquid vaccine in their mouths.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Rabies Vaccines for People and Pets       <\/h1>\n\n\n\n

All cases of rabies in humans were fatal until the vaccine was\ninvented in the early 1900\u2019s.  Now, if a\nperson is ever infected with Rabies, they can go to the emergency room and\nreceive effective treatment to stop the virus from multiplying. Rabies\nvaccinations for children and adults are inexpensive and can be outsourced at\nany local clinic or medical office. Families can also contact passport health\nclinics and speak with health travel medical specialists about receiving\nvaccinations for the rabies virus. Even after exposure, a rabies vaccination\ncan be given to a human for added assurance and protection.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Indiana Administrative Code statute states that all dogs, cats, and ferrets must be vaccinated at 4 months of age, and then re-vaccinated annually, and then re-vaccinated according to manufacturer\u2019s instructions. Pet vaccinations must be administered by a licensed and accredited veterinarian. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

How to Protect Yourself and Loved\nOnes<\/h1>\n\n\n\n

To best avoid potential exposure\nto the rabies virus, it is important to avoid contact with wild animals. This\nincludes injured or orphaned ones. If you have raccoons on your property,\ncontact a local animal control service to have them safely and humanely\nremoved.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
