"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. "
