Every owner of a dog, cat or ferret four months of age or older, shall each year cause the dog, cat or ferret to be inoculated against rabies by a licensed veterinarian. However, if the vaccine used is one recognized by the State Department of Agriculture, for a three-year period of immunity and is properly administered, the interval between inoculations may be extended to three years. At the time as new rabies vaccines are recognized or revisions in recommendations are made by the State Department of Agriculture, the Administrator may issue a directive authorizing their implementation.
