Unit also provides Human Diploid Cell Vaccine (through family physicians) for persons who have had direct contact with an animal that develops rabies. One way to avoid having to take the series of rabies vaccination shots is not to handle any animals suspected of having rabies, and make sure that all cats (including those in the bam) and dogs are vaccinated annually against rabies. The anti-rabies shots for cats and dogs in Huron County is mandatory under the Ontario Health Protection and Promotion Act. When a dog or cat is involved in a biting incident, the animal must be quarantined for 10 days to determine if it develops symptoms of rabies and dies. If the dog or cat’s anti-rabies vaccination is current, the odds are it will be healthy at the end of 10 days. Proof of vaccination must be shown to the public health inspector who is investigating the biting incident and has quarantined the dog or cat. Failure to provide proof may result in a charge being laid and a fine of up to $5,000 for the pet owner. M.
