Merial, the manufacturer of the IMRAB(3) rabies vaccine label-approved for ferrets, has recalled a batch of the vaccine. This is a killed-virus, yearly rabies vaccine in ferrets (three year for dogs and cats). IMRAB(3) with serial number 12317 may not be effective, and the company is reimbursing vets for re-vaccinating animals who received a vaccine from that batch. Owners can check the certificate they receive at vaccination time for the serial number; in many cases this number is also on the payment receipt given at the vet's office. Vets can call (800) 704-8220 for more information. Cheers, -Pam S. [Moderator's note: I couldn't confirm the info at either the Merial or the FDA websites and the phone number above is someone's office voicemail drop. Yet, Pam did tell me she got the info from her vet who used that lot number heavily and had to recall clients. Certainly worth keeping in mind until more info is known. BIG] [Posted in FML issue 3360]
