Epilepsy Study - Rabies Challenge
CVVC's Health Issue Committee makes recommendations to CVVC's Board over expenditure of Health Issues Funds to support studies of medical issues affecting vizslas. Currently, the Committee is supporting the epilepsy study (CVVC received a $2000 anonymous donation to seed participation of members in this study) and the Rabies Challenge Study. Thank you to every member who has donated funds to support the work of the Health Committee.
Epilepsy Study
The Rabies Challenge Fund will determine the duration of immunity conveyed by rabies vaccines. The goal is to extend the required interval for rabies boosters to 5 years and then to 7 years. This project depends primarily upon grassroots gifts for funding the costs of conducting the requisite vaccine trials. For more information or to find out how to donate, go to www.rabieschallengefund.org.
CVVC is proud to support this research and has made the first of several planned donations. This page will have articles of interest on the rabies vaccination issue as they erupt.
