Clarification of Rabies Compendium
In MMWR 1982;31:693, the "Compendium of Animal Rabies Vaccines,
1983" made recommendations on rabies control in imported dogs and
cats. These were recommendations of the National Association of
State
Public Health Veterinarians, Inc.; in regard to cats, however, they
do
not conform to the official recommendations of the Centers for
Disease
Control and the Public Health Service. Although domestic feline
rabies has increased, there has been no evidence of increased risk
of
imported rabies in cats. United States Foreign Quarantine
Regulations
do not require rabies vaccinations for imported cats.
