Rabies vaccinations

Introduced·1/14/25
Introduced Text

Authorizes animal control officials to vaccinate dogs, cats, and ferrets under indirect supervision of a veterinarian.

This bill amends the South Carolina Code to allow employees, agents, or contractors of county or municipal animal control authorities to administer rabies vaccinations to dogs, cats, and ferrets under the indirect supervision of a veterinarian. Indirect supervision means the veterinarian must be available for consultation via telecommunications but does not need to be physically present. The supervising veterinarian is responsible for any vaccinations performed under their direction. This act becomes effective upon approval by the Governor.
