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, .
