However, puppies may be vaccinated at any age after birth, but must thereafter be vaccinated at three months of age, followed by a second vaccination within 12 months, at least 30 days after the first vaccination and thereafter every three years. Although it is required by legislation that dogs and cats be vaccinated against rabies every 3 years in rabies control areas, it is advisable to vaccinate annually..

PROTECTION OF CATTLE, HORSES, SHEEP AND GOATS:

Primary immunisation can be carried out in young animals from the age of 4 months except when they are born to vaccinated mothers. In such a case, it is necessary to postpone primary immunisation until 9 months of age (i.e. after elimination of maternal antibodies.) A booster injection should be given 9 to 12 months after the primary vaccination and thereafter a single injection annually. If uncertainty exists regarding rabies or in the use of RABISIN®, consult your private and/or State Veterinarian or registration holder.
