Rabies Vaccinations
Chapter 141, Section 145B of the Massachusetts General Laws
and 105 Code of Massachusetts (CMR) 330 require that all dogs
and cats in Massachusetts be vaccinated against
rabies. Provisions
of the law include vaccination of all dogs and cats by six
months of age, use of a USDA-licensed rabies vaccine, use of
a uniform rabies vaccination certificate, National
Association of State Public Health Veterinarians (NASPHV)
form #51, and a rabies tag provided by the vaccinating
veterinarian. Computer-generated vaccination certificates are
sufficient, provided they contain the same information
required in the NASPHV form #51. (from http://www.mass.gov/dph/cdc/epii/rabies/rabdcf.htm)
