| Section 8 as follows:
|
| 6 |
| (510 ILCS 5/8) (from Ch. 8, par. 358)
|
| 7 |
| Sec. 8. Every owner of a dog 4 months or more of age shall |
| 8 |
| have each dog
inoculated against rabies
by a licensed |
| 9 |
| veterinarian. Every dog shall
have a second rabies vaccination |
| 10 |
| within one year of the
the first. Terms of
subsequent
vaccine |
| 11 |
| administration and duration of immunity must be in compliance |
| 12 |
| with USDA
licenses of vaccines used. Evidence of such rabies
|
| 13 |
| inoculation shall be entered on a certificate the form of which |
| 14 |
| shall be
approved by the Board and which shall contain the |
| 15 |
| microchip number of the animal if it has one and which shall be |
| 16 |
| signed by the licensed
veterinarian administering the vaccine. |
| 17 |
| Veterinarians who inoculate a dog
shall procure from the County |
| 18 |
| Animal
Control in the county where their office is located
|
| 19 |
| serially
numbered tags, one to be issued with each inoculation |
| 20 |
| certificate. Only one dog
shall be included on each |
| 21 |
| certificate. The veterinarian immunizing or
microchipping an |
| 22 |
| animal
shall
provide the
Administrator of the county in which |
| 23 |
| the animal resides with a certificate of immunization and |
| 24 |
| microchip number. The
Board shall cause a rabies
inoculation |
| 25 |
| tag to be issued, at a fee established by the Board
for each
|
| 26 |
| dog inoculated against rabies.
|
| 27 |
| Rabies vaccine for use on animals shall be sold or |
| 28 |
| distributed only to
and used only by licensed veterinarians. |
| 29 |
| Such rabies vaccine shall be
licensed by the United States |
| 30 |
| Department of Agriculture.
|
| 31 |
| If a licensed veterinarian determines in writing that a |
| 32 |
| rabies inoculation would compromise an animal's health, then |
