Nashville TN Metro/Davidson County Rabies Ordinance 3 Year

  • Kris_ChristineK

    Contrary to what pet owners have been told, the Metro Nashville/Davidson County ordinance does allow pets to be vaccinated with a 3 year vaccine. In a December 16, 2009 e-mail to the Metro Nashville/Davidson County Director of Health, Dr. Brent Hager (Director of Environmental Health), made the following statement on rabies vaccine requirements for Metro Nashville/Davidson County:

    From: Hager, Brent (Health)
    Sent: Wednesday, December 16, 2009 4:08 PM
    To: Paul, Bill (Health)
    Subject: METRO/DAVIDSON (NASHVILLE) RABIES

    MCL 8.04.040 states "All licenses issued shall be valid for twelve months and shall expire on the last day of the month issued of the following year". The vaccine used, however, can be a one year or three year at the discretion of the vet or owner.

    If you have any questions about this, please contact Dr. Hager at:

    Just seeing this, not sure how I missed it but I am so sorry. Yes, blessed with nearly 16 yrs… but that's more years to leave a bigger hole in your heart.

    @Whoalookitsme: So now owners don't have to have a rabies vaccine every year? Just every three years. After the 2 puppy shots ( provided the 2nd one is done with a 3 year rabies vaccine), dog owners in Waco will only be required to have their dogs vaccinated once every 3 years.

    **Rhode Island – 3 Year "Transition Policy" announced by State Vet 2/21/10 New R.I. Rabies Regulations Close to Approval**, Providence Journal 2/21/10 http://www.projo.com/health/content/rabies_vaccinations_02-21-10_QVHH1UG_v13.36f414d.html "New rules, expected to go into effect about March 16, change the mandatory vaccination period from two to three years. In the meantime, the state veterinarian, Dr. Scott Marshall, has created a transitional policy so that pets now protected aren?t reimmunized unnecessarily just because the old regulations have not yet expired. " If you have questions about the transition policy, contact Dr. Scott Marshall at scott.marshall@dem.ri.gov phone: (401) 222-2781 ext. 4503
