Both Tampa and St. Petersburg set records for consecutive days in which the high temperature did not reach 60 Â°F (16 Â°C), and Tampa experienced ten consecutive days with a low temperature below freezing. Much of the area received a wintry mix of rain, sleet, and possibly a few snowflakes on January 9â10.
Consider, also, that while our government may require rabies vaccines every three years for the protection of public health, individual veterinarians may exempt some petsââtemporarily, at leastââon the basis of their compromised health.
The rabies vaccine should be given in every case of suspected exposure to rabies. The length of your vaccination course will depend on whether you have previously been vaccinated. You should receive five doses of the vaccine if you've never been vaccinated.
