Friday evening (2/29/08), a Wichita reporter called and interviewed me for
an hour about the canine rabies vaccine. Apparently, there is an
unorganized effort in Kansas to change the rabies
immunization law for dogs from an annual to a triennial protocol. A
number of veterinarians are in favor of the change as are dog owners.
The obstacle appears to be Kay Johnson, Director of Environmental
Services, which oversees Animal Services.
If you are a Kansas dog owner would like to see Kansas adopt the
national standard of a triennial rabies vaccination protocol for dogs,
now is the time to act. You can contact Kay Johnson at

I am happy to share my rabies vaccine materials and will assist in this
effort if it gets off the ground.
