Recent News
State Rabies Protocol Manual Revised
In December 1991 with assistance from state and private agencies, the Connecticut Veterinary Medical Association published the “State of Connecticut Manual for Rabies Management and Protocols”. It served as an essential reference for veterinarians and other professionals who were expected to provide assistance and advice regarding rabies. The Connecticut Department of Agriculture, in cooperation with the Connecticut Department of Public Health and the Connecticut Veterinary Medical Association, has updated that information and published it on a new website. It provides links to further information about rabies and whom to contact in the event of a rabies incident.

Governor Jodi Rell has signed into law a requirement that Connecticut veterinarians obtain at least 24 hours of continuing professional education every two years. The CE requirement will affect license renewals beginning on July 1, 2011. For additional information, click here.
