RIDOH is alerting pet owners, animal control officers, and municipal clerks that a shipment of rabies vaccine has been recalled because some vials may have only contained sterile water.
The vaccine made by Boehringer Ingelheim Animal Health, was distributed to vets between September 29th and January 8th and the expiration date is March 12th.
There are no health concerns for pets that received the sterile water, but any animal that received a vaccine from that lot should be revaccinated against rabies.
