HomeMy WebLinkAboutThe Goderich Signal-Star, 1986-01-15, Page 21A new regulation requiring people in some
areas of the province to immunize their pets
against rabies took effect Dec. 1, Health
Minister Murray Elston announced..
The regulation, which is being added to
the Health Protection and Promotion Act,
enables the local medical officer of health to
require the compulsory immunization of
cats and dogs over three months of age in
his jurisdiction where he is of the opinion
that the program is warrented and will
benefit the public.
Three health units have already asked the
ministry to apply the regulation to their
areas. It took effect in the Borough of East
York Health Unit on Dec. 1 and will take ef-
fect in the Haldimand-Norfolk Regional
Health Unit on Apr. 1, 1986 and the Halibur-
ton, Kawartha, Pine Ridge, District Health
Unit on Sept. 1, 1986. Several other health
units have approached the ministry to
discuss being included in the regulation.
"Ministrystatistics show that during the
first 10 months of 1985 there were 1,651
reported cases of rabies among animals,"
'Elston said. "This is 43 per cent more, than
the number of cases reported in the same
period in 1984, when 1,156 cases Were
reported.
"In addition, so far this year, the number
of treatments for human beings who have
been exposed has, increased. eight per cent
from 1,626 in 1984 to 1,758."
While most of the reported cases of rabies
occur among wild animals such as foxes and
skunks, the major threat, to people is
through pets that have ben exposed to
rabies in wildlife. Rabies in pets causes
between 50 and 60 per cent of human ex-
posures and anti -rabies treatments.
Local medical officers of health •are ,ex-
pected to consult with local veterinarians to
arrange for, lower -cos rabies vaccination
.clinicsto be. available a year in each
community where it is made compulsory.
Pet owners will receive an immunization
certificate from their veterinarian in-
dicating when the animal' ras vaccinated,
and. when it is due to be re -immunized: They
will also receive a rabies vaccination iden-
tification tag for their, dog orcat, .
