Virginia Administrative Code › Title 12 - HEALTH › Agency 5 - DEPARTMENT OF HEALTH › Chapter 105 - RABIES REGULATIONS › Section 12VAC5-105-30 - Rabies vaccine exemptions

Current through Register Vol. 40, No. 24, July 15, 2024
A.
				The local health director, in consultation with the state public health
				veterinarian, may grant an exemption to the requirement for rabies vaccination
				as articulated in § 3.2-6521 of the Code of Virginia if a vaccination
				would likely endanger the animal's life due to a previously diagnosed disease
				or other previously documented medical considerations as documented by a
				licensed veterinarian.
B. Such
				exemption may be granted for an individual animal only after the veterinarian
				has (i) consulted with the local health director and completed and submitted to
				the LHD an application for exemption from rabies vaccination on a form approved
				by the department and (ii) submitted other documents or medical records as may
				be requested by the LHD. After approval of such exemption, the LHD shall issue
				a rabies vaccination exemption certificate, copies of which shall be provided
				to the veterinarian, the owner of the dog or cat exempted from rabies
				vaccination, and the animal control office of the municipality in which the
				owner of the dog or cat resides. Certification that a dog or cat is exempt from
				rabies vaccination may be presented in lieu of a rabies vaccination certificate
				for the purposes of veterinary inspection by designated local authorities and
				for the purposes of licensing by the locality where the animal resides.
				Certification that a dog or cat is exempt from rabies vaccination shall be
				valid for one year, after which time the animal shall be vaccinated against
				rabies or the application for exemption shall be renewed.
C. The governing body of any locality may
				require that an exempted animal be confined on the owner's property or kept on
				a leash, or both, or otherwise restrained if it is thought necessary to protect
				public health and safety. The governing body of any locality may require that a
				form of unique identification is associated with an exempted animal. An
				exempted animal shall be considered unvaccinated by the department in the event
				of the animal's exposure to a confirmed or suspected rabid animal. Any
				requirement to vaccinate an exempted animal for rabies in the event of that
				animal's exposure to a confirmed or suspected rabid animal shall be at the
				discretion of the local health director.

Virginia Administrative Code › Title 12 - HEALTH › Agency 5 - DEPARTMENT OF HEALTH › Chapter 105 - RABIES REGULATIONS › Section 12VAC5-105-40 - Model plan for localities

Current through Register Vol. 40, No. 24, July 15, 2024
A.
				Localities are required to have a rabies exposure response plan by §
				3.2-6562.1 of the Code of Virginia. Pursuant to the second enactment of Chapter
				834 of the 2010 Acts of Assembly, the department has developed a model plan
				that localities may use in part or in total to fulfill this requirement. In
				addition, localities may want to consider including information that will
				assist the plan's users with assessing rabies exposure and making post-exposure
				prophylactic (PEP) recommendations, communication with local authorities
				involved in rabies exposure response, documenting information associated with
				rabies exposure, and any other duties associated with response.
B. Model plan.
Title: Human and Companion Animal Rabies Exposure
				  Protocol.
Section I. Purpose. The
				purpose of this plan is to:
A. Ensure the
				prompt capture, confinement, isolation, or euthanasia of any animal that has
				exposed, or poses a risk of exposing, a person or companion animal to rabies by
				standardizing procedures associated with investigating such
				incidents.
B. Identify the
				authority and responsibility of the LHD, law-enforcement officers, animal
				control officers, and any other persons with a duty to control or respond to a
				risk of rabies exposure.
C.
				Establish consistent communication and reporting of possible rabies exposure
				incidents to ensure residents living in the locality receive appropriate
				guidance and residents and their animals receive protection against rabies
				infection by including them within the scope of the LHD epidemiology staff, LHD
				environmental health, LHD nursing staff, and locality animal control staff or
				any personnel acting in the capacity of a locality animal control officer and
				locality law enforcement. Officials who have entered into a memorandum of
				understanding with the LHD agree to employ standard written guidelines in
				response to possible human and animal rabies exposures.
D. Establish a plan to control the risk of
				rabies exposure and ensure prompt response to rabies-related incidents in order
				to minimize companion animal and human morbidity and mortality in the locality.

Current through Register Vol. 40, No. 24, July 15, 2024
A. Religious and medical exemptions. No
				  certificate of immunization shall be required of any student for admission to
				  school if:
1. The student or his parent or
				  guardian submits a notarized Certificate of Religious Exemption (Form CRE 1),
				  to the admitting official of the school to which the student is seeking
				  admission. Form CRE 1 is an affidavit stating that the administration of
				  immunizing agents conflicts with the student's religious tenets or practices.
				  The form is available on the Division of Immunization website at
http://www.vdh.virginia.gov/immunization/requirements
;
				  or
2. The school has written
				  certification on either of the documents specified under "documentary proof" in
				  12VAC5-110-10 from a
				  physician, registered nurse, or a local health department that one or more of
				  the required immunizations may be detrimental to the student's health. Such
				  certification of medical exemption shall specify the nature and probable
				  duration of the medical condition or circumstance that contraindicates
				  immunization.
3. Upon the
				  identification of an outbreak, potential epidemic, or epidemic of a
				  vaccine-preventable disease in a public or private school, the commissioner has
				  the authority to require the exclusion from such school of all children who are
				  not immunized against that disease.

Current through Register Vol. 40, No. 24, July 15, 2024
A. Procedures for determining the
				  immunization status of students. Each admitting official or his designee shall
				  review, before the first day of each school year, the school medical record of
				  every new student seeking admission to his school, and that of every student
				  enrolling in grade six for compliance with the requirements prescribed in
				  12VAC5-110-70. Such review shall
				  determine into which one of the following categories each student falls:
1. Students whose immunizations are
				  adequately documented and complete in conformance with
				  12VAC5-110-70. Students with
				  documentation of existing immunity to mumps, measles, rubella, or varicella as
				  defined in
				  12VAC5-110-80 B shall be
				  considered to be adequately immunized for such disease.
2. Students who are exempt from the
				  immunization requirements of
				  12VAC5-110-70 because of medical
				  contraindications or religious beliefs provided for by
				  12VAC5-110-80.
3. Students whose immunizations are
				  inadequate according to the requirements of
				  12VAC5-110-70.
4. Students without any documentation of
				  having been adequately immunized.

Current through Register Vol. 40, No. 24, July 15, 2024
A. Documentary proof for students immunized
				  in Virginia. Every physician, registered nurse, and local health department
				  providing immunizations to a child shall provide documentary proof, as defined
				  in 12VAC5-110-10, to the child or his
				  parent or guardian of all immunizations administered.
B. Documentary proof for out-of-state
				  students. For a student transferring from an out-of-state school to a Virginia
				  school, the admitting official may accept as documentary proof any immunization
				  record for that student that is signed by a physician or registered nurse and
				  that contains the exact date (month/day/year) of administration of each of the
				  required doses of vaccines when indicated and that complies fully with the
				  requirements prescribed under
				  12VAC5-110-70. Any immunization
				  record that does not contain the signature of a physician or a nurse and does
				  not contain the month/day/year of administration of each of the required
				  vaccine doses shall not be accepted by the admitting official as documentary
				  proof of adequate immunization. Such a student's record shall be evaluated by
				  an official of the local health department who shall determine if that student
				  is adequately immunized in accordance with the provisions of
				  12VAC5-110-70. Should the local
				  health department determine that such a student is not adequately immunized,
				  that student shall be referred to his private physician or local health
				  department for any required immunizations.
