Well that didn't work the first time like I hoped!  That will teach me not to 
copy & paste!!!<br/>Very interesting news... Can't wait for 
results!!!<br/>Also, an anonymous donor is matching dollar for dollar up to 
$12,500- which will give the RCF the final funds they need to complete this 
study. :)<br/>JP&P<br/><br/> IMPORTANT ANNOUNCEMENT<br/><br/><br/>           
The Rabies Challenge Fund has just received the commitment from a USDA-approved 
facility to perform the first of the challenge phases of our 5 and 7-year 
studies.  This rabies research was undertaken to determine, by challenge, the 
vaccineâs long-term duration of immunity in dogs and to establish the 
worldâs first canine rabies titer standard.<br/><br/>            Fees for 
this first challenge, slated to begin later this year, will involve 15 of the 
study dogs and will cost $100,000.  If successful, two subsequent challenges of 
15 dogs each will be conducted in order to meet the USDA rabies
 vaccine licensing requirements.  These results, which will have been obtained 
using the same federal standard upon which all currently licensed rabies 
vaccines and rabies laws and regulations are based, should establish the 
scientific foundation upon which the legally required rabies booster intervals 
for dogs can be extended to 5 or 7 years.   Further, for the first time, our 
accumulated rabies titer data should permit incorporating clauses pertaining to 
rabies titers into the existing laws. <br/><br/>            Currently, The 
Rabies Challenge Fund will need to raise an additional $24,847 to cover the 
challenge facility fees.  We ask that our donors maintain their generous levels 
of support through this critical challenge phase, so that the results to 
benefit all dogs can be available in early 2015.<br/><br/>          Information
