Paula, you and other Californians might support this following, too. I have 3 old'uns and 2 over 8 and I don't want them to ever have another Rabies vax. So I'm supporting this bill: Subject: RABIES--CALIFORNIA Medical Exemption ACTION ALERT PERMISSION GRANTED TO POST AND CROSS-POST CALIFORNIA--Medical Exemption Bill AB 2000 ACTION ALERT! California Assembly Member Curt Hagman has filed a bill which will insert a Medical Exemption Clause into California's Rabies Law. Assembly Bill AB200 http://www.leginfo.ca.gov./pub/09-10/bill/asm/ab_1951-2000/ab_2000_bill_20100217_introduced.html "This bill would exempt from the vaccination requirement the owner of a dog that a licensed veterinarian determines, on an annual basis, may have a potentially lethal reaction to the vaccination." The bill has gone to the Agriculture Committee, concerned pet owners should call the Committee Secretary (Mona Wood) at 916-319-2084 and/ or contact the Committee members at the phone numbers or e-mail addresses below and leave a message for the Committee that you want them to recommend passage of this bill.
