"rabies vaccination certificate should always  comply with Minnesota Rule 
1705.1146, including displaying the date of  vaccination and the rabies 
vaccine labeled duration of immunity, even if the  veterinarian recommends more 
frequent rabies  vaccination"

A major victory for Minnesota pet  owners thanks to Jane Anderson & Chris 
Addington, who, with assistance from  The Rabies Challenge Fund, have 
prompted the Minnesota Board of Veterinary  Medicine to publish a rabies 
vaccination guidance document in order to get  veterinarians to follow the 
recommendations of the CDC's Rabies Compendium, to  issue rabies certificates 
accurately reflecting the duration of immunity on the  vaccine label, to obtain 
documented informed consent if administering rabies  vaccines off-label, and to 
have "credible, scientifically-based  information....in the possession of the 
veterinarian and available for review"  if the veterinarian chooses to 
adopt a booster protocol other than that  recommended in the Compendium.
