Although Rabvac may really protect the ferret against rabies, it has not
been tested and proven effective, therefore, as far as the state Public
Health officials are concerned, it may as well be distilled water.
Remember, with rabies, it's not so much a matter of protecting the ferret
from the rabies virus, as it is protecting the ferret from Public Health
officials.  Only IMRAB-3 is recognized for ferrets.
