Pet vaccinations must be administered by a licensed and accredited veterinarian. <\/p>\n<h1><font color=\"tan\">Rabies Vaccines for Humans<\/font><\/h1>\n<p>All cases of rabies in humans were fatal until the vaccine was invented in the early 1900\u2019s.  Now, if a person is ever infected with Rabies, they can go to the emergency room and receive effective treatment to stop the virus from multiplying. Rabies vaccinations for children and adults are inexpensive and can be outsourced at any local clinic or medical office. Families can also contact passport health clinics and speak with health travel medical specialists about receiving vaccinations for the rabies virus. Even after exposure, a rabies vaccination can be given to a human for added assurance and protection.<\/p>\n<h1><font color=\"tan\">Oral Rabies Vaccines &#8211; ORV\u2019s <\/font><\/h1>\n<p>The U.S. Department of Agriculture\u2019s Animal and Plant Health Inspection Service, as well as their Wildlife Services department, have been working together or many years to overcome the rabies epidemics plaguing our pets and animals in our nature\u2019s wildlife. For this reason, over the past few decades many states have utilized oral rabies vaccines (ORV\u2019s) in an attempt to control the spread of the rabies virus among their local wildlife. <\/p>\n<h1><font color=\"tan\">Rabies Vaccination Schedules<\/font><\/h1>\n<h3><strong>Pre-Exposure Schedule:<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p>&#8640; <font color=\"gray\">Three Doses Total<\/font><br \/>\n&#8640; <font color=\"gray\">2nd Dose Administered 7 Days Following First Dose<\/font><br \/>\n&#8640; <font color=\"gray\">3rd Dose Administered 21-28 Days Following First Dose<\/font><\/p>\n<h3><strong>Post-Exposure Schedule:<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p>&#8640; <font color=\"gray\">Four Doses Total Plus One Additional Shot<\/font><br \/>\n&#8640; <font color=\"gray\">2nd Dose Administered 3 Days Following First Dose<\/font><br \/>\n&#8640; <font color=\"gray\">3rd Dose Administered 7 Days Following First Dose<\/font><br \/>\n&#8640; <font color=\"gray\">4th Dose Administered 14 Days Following First Dose<\/font><br \/>\n&#8640; <font color=\"gray\">Additional Shot of Rabies Immune Globulin with First Dose<\/font><\/p>\n<h3><strong>Post-Exposure Schedule for Someone Previously Vaccinated:<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p>&#8640; <font color=\"gray\">Two Doses Total<\/font><br \/>\n&#8640; <font color=\"gray\">2nd Dose Administered 3 Days Following First Dose<\/font><br \/>\n&#8640; <font color=\"gray\">Rabies Immune Globulin Dose Not Necessary<\/font><\/p>\n<h1><font color=\"tan\">How to Protect Yourself<\/font><\/h1>\n<p>To best avoid potential exposure to the rabies virus, it is important to avoid contact with wild animals.
