Incidences of vaccine related sarcomas (cancer) in cats are linked to adjuvanted Rabies vaccines. For some reason we don’t see this problem in dogs as often as we do in cats. So, in order to provide the safest protection for our patients, we have switched to using PUREVAX^™ Feline Rabies vaccine by Merial for our feline patients. It is the Only Non-Adjuvanted Feline Rabies Vaccine Available.

PUREVAX Feline Rabies offers proven efficacy and a unique safety profile for your cat. Through the advanced science of recombinant technology, PUREVAX Feline Rabies is developed to use only the specific protein needed to stimulate protective immunity against rabies -- the whole rabies virus is never introduced.

• It is the only non-adjuvanted feline rabies vaccine
• Designed to provide targeted protection
• Confirmed safe and efficacious through clinical trials with over 2,000 cats
• Proven safe and effective in the field with millions of doses sold in the US
• Approved even for kittens as young as 8 weeks

For now, the Purevax Rabies vaccine is only licensed for 1 year. Eventually, we hope research will show that it also gives protection for up to 3 years.
