Lawmakers in Delaware stepped up to help pets in a way that’s never been done in any state in the country. Once signed by the Governor, Maggie’s Pet Vaccine Protection Act could save the lives of countless pets moving forward.
Maggie’s Vaccine Protection Act, formally known as House Bill 214, unanimously passed in both the Delaware House and Senate, leaving just Gov. John Carney’s signature the last step in making it official. Once signed, veterinarians and pet owners will have the ability to exempt a pet from legally required rabies vaccine if the animal is sick, disabled, injured, or if other medical considerations exist which make vaccination a risk to the animal’s health and life. Instead of a vaccination, a Titer test, which measures a pet’s antibodies to combat rabies, can be used.
Delaware businessman and pet owner Al Casapulla initiated the bill after losing his beloved Shih Tzu, Maggie, to over-vaccination when state law required she be vaccinated, regardless of whether it was safe.
“I have been working on this bill since she died… I am extremely excited and very emotional,” Casapulla told the Coastal Point after learning the act had passed. “My passion to see this through was more than the passion I had when I started my business, because I knew if this gets passed we would be saving the lives of so many innocent animals and allowing vets to use their discretion on making legal, educated exemptions.”
“Maggie will be saving lives long after I am gone,” he said in an emotional Facebook post.
Governor Carney is expected to sign the bill in May.

YES…………..when i rescued my Rhodesian Ridgeback , his immune system was wrecked……he was sick…..i get his rabies vax every year, but the rabies vax was made for the life of the dog….when i was a younger person, your dog got a rabies shot when you got the pup…..then, only saw the vet when/if it was sick or hurt…

We titer our dogs for the other vaccines and strongly support doing a titer for rabies too. We aren’t being cheap, we are prudent. A titer is not cheaper, but it is better. Illinois, please join Delaware and allow for a titer rather than requiring a vaccination.

Feb 12, 2020 at 5:25 am
Sorry but you have all been misled by faulty reporting. Delaware just became the 19th state to offer a medical exemption in lieu of a rabies vaccine for ill and sick animals. A vet has the option of using a titer test to help with their decision but it is not required for a medical exemption. And in fact most medical exemptions are done without titer testing. Medical exemptions are generally difficult to get. Read more here:

Titters instead of over vaccinating. Common sense. For humans as well. We risk our pets lifes to follow the law. How wrong it this?
Mary
Feb 11, 2020 at 8:08 pm
Yes I would absolutely support similar legislation. I would also recommend a national database, so that when a pet has been vaccinated in one state and rehomed/adopted in another state (especially when the pet’s owner can substantiate and provide a valid rabies certificate as proof/evidence of the vaccination), so that vets would not be required to re-vaccinate in order for the pet to be licensed in the new home state.
Raina
Feb 12, 2020 at 9:28 am
Mary,
If the animal comes with a rabies certificate, they don’t have to be vaccinated until such time as the vaccine is due again.
If rescue dogs are being repeatedly vaccinated prior to the next set being due, I would question if a rescue or rescues are following interstate animal transport laws, which fairly universally dictate that any animal over six months of age be vaccinated AND proof is with the animal in transit for sale. Most states also dictate the certificate of vaccination MUST be transferred with the animal.
If rescues in your area are routinely vaccinating dogs imported from another state, they’re unethical and not following laws.
Robin

I would wholeheartedly support legislation in Illinois for a rabies titer for our dogs.
You’ve made an excellent additional suggestion for similar nationwide legislation that I would also support.

I would definitely support a bill in NY. My dogs get titers on all vaccines and I’m against over vaccinating my dogs. I had a titer test on my dogs rabies to see how much of the vaccine was in they’re system and they didn’t need another rabies vaccination. The law is every three years for rabies vaccines and my town would not except a titer test.

Having a dog that has had an adverse reaction to the Rabies vaccine bth immune system compromise and behavioral I would be very highly motivated to get this passed in our state. After seeing many pets over vaccinated and having medical problems for life this is the first step in finding compromise to the problems that exist in today’s society.
Before everyone jumps down my throat about we wouldn’t have eradicated measles, polio etc I am not against vaccinations just the over use of them.
Bonnie Schipp
Feb 10, 2020 at 2:44 pm
I would absolutely love to see this happening in Minnesota!
I had a Cairn Terrier with IBD/PLE that was stabilized using prednisolone and prescription food and seen several times per year by our Veterinarian. She was very overdue for her Rabies vaccination and after being stabilized for over 1&1/2 years with her immune system being suppressed by Budesonide. I had her vaccinated for Rabies, within 2 weeks she developed seizures and after months of trying to control them, I finally let her cross the Rainbow Bridge. I think if this was an option in MN she would still be here today.
I also had an 8 yr old Yorkie/Pom who had an enlarged heart being treated by a local PetSmart. He had medicine to help get the water around his heart removed. He was given his vaccinations, went into a code blue at the clinic and died that night.

Thank you Mr Casapulla! I have sadly been a shoulder to cry on with many friends who had lost thier old pet soon after receiving their vaccinations.An older pets body cannot handle the vaccinations, and is too much on the organs. After I realized what was happening, I spread the word that if your pet is older, do not vaccinate.if your pet is sick , do not vaccinate.whatni don’t understand is vets should know this but still do it. I thought vets are suppose to care about animals!!

I would support this same bill in Georgia. I have several dogs and not only is it expensive, but I have two over 10 year old small dogs that only go outside for a minimal amount of time to do their business and in a fenced yard. 0% chance they will contact any wildlife.

I live in Northern Kentucky and would love to see our state accept a rabies titer instead of a Rabies vaccine. I have been wondering how to go about getting this done.

MADILYN
Feb 9, 2020 at 9:30 pm
Yes. Finally I have been in support of such a bill for many years. Each time I bring it up to the various vets I have had for my dogs the issues falls on deaf ears. I have gone to diiferent vets in search of one who shares my concerns. We need to expand this issue to include all our pets not only the sick, or disabled. We humans do not get our core vaccines every year nor should our pets. Titers tell about their immunity.

Nana Yasko
Feb 11, 2020 at 10:02 pm
I agree. The future Bill’s should include opt outside for people who are sick and allow tigers to be taken for animal as ls rather than automatic vacc.
A rabies vaccine given to a human can have a strong titer up to 10 years later depending on the person.
Also a huge draft horse gets a 2cc dose of Rabies vacc and a miniature horse weighing 200# would get the same dose.
A huge dog gets a 1 cc dose. And a 16 week old 4 # puppy gets the same dose.

Our 12 lb. Norwich Terrier has had violent reactions the last two rabies vaccine. Very lethargic for several hours within minutes of receiving the vaccine. He is due again in two years. We will risk legal action versus giving it to him again. We live in Pennsylvania and he is 8 years old.
Mary Ann Pros
Feb 10, 2020 at 1:12 am
Dave – Find a veterinarian who uses homeopathy (most likely a holistic vet). There is homeopathy to hel detox after the vaccination. I have used HomeoPet Liver Rescue – formerly Cleanz-Detox, before I found a vet that administered a detox along with the immunization It is very affordable and a wonderful company with great customer service (question answering).
I know someone who’s dog almost died from the rabies and she was able to opt out and still be able to purchase her dog license. Call your local animal shelter whoever gives out the dog license and talk to your vet about it also.

Feb 9, 2020 at 1:41 pm
This bill should have been for all states. I understand that our Veterinarians must follow the law of each state. We have pets that are so over vaccinated that it is pathetic. Granted, we have trusted them because they are the ones educated in regard to our pets vaccinations. Our Veterinarians are very intelligent people or they would not have been able to pass their boards. So, they must see and understand the harm that over vaccinating is causing. THIS MUST BE STOPPED. Also, if this vaccination is needed it should be the correct dose for the size of the dog. I do not want my 12 pound dog getting enough vaccine that would be sufficient for a 100 pound dog. It does not take a genius to figure out the correct dosage. IT IS TIME FOR OUR LEGISLATORS TO PASS A BILL THAT WOULD PROTECT OUR PETS AND THEIRS. I believe this can be accomplished with support from our trusted Vets.
S. Granger
Feb 10, 2020 at 1:21 pm
Another Sue who supports this law. My two dogs ages 12 and 7 at 24 pounds each are titered for rabies (and parvo/distemper). The titer expires in 3 years when I will do it again. My groomer accepts titers. My vet drew and prepared the sample at no charge during annual wellness exam. Sent through PROTECTTHEPETS.COM very easy and low cost.
Deirdre
Feb 10, 2020 at 6:49 pm
I soooo agree! My 4 pound Yorkie was brought in as an emergency, having a bone stuck in his esophagus
He was 17 years old at the time. The vet and staff worked on little Shamus for 3 hours and saved his life! When I went to take him home they insisted that he get a rabies shot. It’s the law in NC. He has not had shots for many years and I knew a rabies shot at this stage in his life and after undergoing 3 hours of life saving procedures, would kill him. I said absolutly NOT! I said that it would kill him. I know that they agreed and they found a waiver sheet that I gladly signed.

Our 7 year old cattle dog mix had a nearly fatal reaction from her vaccine. No, I did not take her back to the vet where she would of received benadril and something else. I was wise enough to take her to a friend of mine thsat understands over vaccination. We determined that the preservative was the culprit. I did call around to other vets They called it a dirty vaccine and were very aware of it! I treated our dog with homopathic drops. Fortunately she pulled out of it but not after she had stopped eating, lost hair, joints got stiff and her heart nearly stopped. I was able to get a letter from our vet to present to the county so we could get a dog license. (Penalty was steep to not have one ).

Feb 9, 2020 at 12:25 pm
Yes, we need Kentucky to do this. We do titers for our dogs and they always have had more than enough antibodies but our state makes you do the rabies. It makes no sense. If they have the antibodies than they don’t need the vaccination. Plain and simple. What uneducated person created this law? Veterinarians should push for this because they know over vaccinating is not in the best interest of the animal’s health. All states should conform.
PH
Feb 9, 2020 at 8:00 pm
Vets are probably not going to push for this legislation as annual vaccinations are money makers for their clinics. Pet owners will have to drive this change and IMHO we need to push for titers in lieu of vaccination regardless of the health of the animal. Only a very small percentage will qualify for titers only if it is based on medical exemptions.
Romanie Baines
Feb 9, 2020 at 12:24 pm

A titer test is $100-200. A rabies vaccine is maybe $30? And if your animal has a negative or low titer, you will need to pay for both the vaccine and the titer.
PH
Feb 9, 2020 at 8:09 pm
Spoken like a true vet…vaccinate, vaccinate, vaccinate, regardless of how it effects the health of our pets. For some of us, doing right by our pets is much more important than money.

So what?! Over vaccinating is incredibly harmful. I have NO issue paying a $100 to keep my animal healthy.
Paul
Feb 9, 2020 at 11:42 am
I would absolutely endorse this law. It’s high time we quit over vaccinating our pets because of outdated vaccine laws.
Barbara Richards
Feb 9, 2020 at 11:41 am
Absolutely! I’ve been battling with this not only with vets but with boarding kennels who INSIST that you have required vaccinations and they refuse titers. I won’t take trips because I can’t do this to my furry little family members. I won’t compromise their health.
Sharon DeWitt
Feb 9, 2020 at 11:40 am
Absolutely! Come on Florida, seniors depend on their pets for many reasons, and so do the other pet owners in our state. Let’s ne proactive and follow their lead with a similar bill in our state!
Tara
Feb 9, 2020 at 11:40 am
Halleluyah!! But it’s only becuz they can charge more money for titer testing!
Carol
Feb 9, 2020 at 11:32 am
Yes! Minnesota and all states need this law. It is way past due.

I would be 100% behind Maggie’s Law were it to be introduced here in Florida!
Sharon Gretsinger
Feb 9, 2020 at 10:56 am
Absolutely would support this bill.! Have lost 2 dogs as a result of required rabies vaccine. Have spent thousands keeping another one alive after reacting to the vaccine. I’m NOT an antivaxer, I believe in protecting our pets but what we are requiring are pets to have is ludicrous.
Bonnie E Kramer
Feb 9, 2020 at 10:53 am
I would definately support a bill such as Maggie’s Vaccine Protection Act. All states need to do this to protect our sweet pets. They deserve to be given this consideration.

I hope this spreads across the United States. I have a 12 year old dog with cancer due for her rabies vaccination this year. I hate the thought of breaking the law, but I will not subject her to another rabies vaccination.
Shelly Brandon
Feb 9, 2020 at 10:47 am
I would certainly support this bill in the state of OKLAHOMA !
Celeste Champagne
Feb 9, 2020 at 10:47 am
I will hope that this bill will be passed throughout all the states and be made a universal law.
Kim
Feb 9, 2020 at 10:42 am
California needs to pass a similar bill. We can titer for parvovirus and distemper, but not rabies. Over vaccination is one of the reasons so many of our pets have such a high rate of cancer.
Cindy Hamilton
Feb 9, 2020 at 10:42 am
We need this in Ct!

Feb 9, 2020 at 10:39 am
In my research the Rabies vaccine is one of the most dangerous and potentially lethal vaccines we give to pets and Veterinarians are forced to give it way too often. It also is a huge contributor to hypothyroidism which runs rampant in the canine population. ALL Veterinarians take a “I WILL DO NO HARM OATH” upon graduation. So why did it take a Delaware businessman whose beloved pet died after a Rabies Vaccine to Push this Bill instead of a Veterinarian policing our own profession! Maggie’s Bill is really just plain old good medicine! Thank you Al Casapulla for fighting the fight and thank you Delaware House and Senate for passing Maggie’s Bill! My dream is that this Bill will permeate to EVERY STATE. Maggie’s death truly will save many lives! I am so sorry for your loss. My own beloved Susannah dog died secondary to vaccines that I personally administered to her. It changed my career path and I am now a Holistic Veterinarian thanks to Susannah’s HUGE sacrifice.

Feb 9, 2020 at 10:28 am
I totaly support this. Over vaccination has to be stopped. Our dogs should be living longer and healthier lives. Pet owners do your research on vaccines.
Catherine Crago
Feb 9, 2020 at 10:24 am
Yes I would definitely support. I had 9 dogs a year ago. I lost 2 to cancer, that they developed within weeks of annual exam and rabies shots a year ago. After this years exam and 3 year rabies for different dogs, 2 more were fine at exam and developed lymphoma in less than a month. 1 started with a tumor at the vaccine site.
Dawn Crockett
Feb 9, 2020 at 10:15 am

Feb 9, 2020 at 10:08 am
Sounds like a good bill if it saves dogs lives. Maybe it should be Nationwide.
David Conti
Feb 9, 2020 at 10:05 am
Has adequate research been done to equate titers with Rabies protection? And what was done to prove that over-immunization was the cause of the dog’s death. But, to be clear, I do believe we have been immunizing excessively for many viral diseases.

This is a landmark and something that Dr. Dodds has championed through the Rabies Challenge Fund for many years. We need every dog owner to support this in their individual states as much as possible. Rabies has long been the cause of thousands of pets lives, very needlessly.

My Yorkie was very sick from over vaccination. I spent thousands of dollars trying to find out what happened. I took her to a dermatologist vet who was able to identify vasculitis caused by over vaccination. Three years later I got the titer test and it was found she is 6x’s over what is normal for rabies vaccines. I would definitely support this bill as I almost lost her and still have to Face the residual affects of what happened. I believe this bill will save many owners from the heartache Al had to face. My Izzie was lucky however not all pets are.
Bill welton
Feb 9, 2020 at 9:57 am
I certainly would. The rabies vaccine causes cancer and many other problems in pets. That is part of the reason their life spans have been cut in half. Over vaccinations period. When i was a kid my dogs lived to be 14 -19 years old and never had any shots and ran the woods every day, one was a 19 year old shepherd.
Shirley L Adams
Feb 10, 2020 at 9:48 pm
Well, I’m old, and we had rabies vaccination laws in Florida when I was young that were every year. Now they aren’t that frequent. But my dad had dogs his whole life and lost puppies and dogs to parvo, distemper, and heartworm treatment (before there was a preventive for HW.) I’ll be glad when Dr. Schulz finishes his studies to show how long the rabies vax lasts. I would have to see the science behind the titer and the quality of the lab. Also, as dogs get older, they can develop immunosenescence. Where I live there are rabid wild animals found every year. I don’t think we should lose sight of the face that rabies is a public health issue, too.
Kursten
Feb 9, 2020 at 9:54 am
I would like to have that law here in New Hampshire. I am a vet tech and I agree a titer for rabies will benefit the animals that are sick or dying.

I hope NH will do the same,the sooner the better for our animals.sake. We have done the titer tests for twenty years for what some vets called the annuals.
Christine Fisher
Feb 9, 2020 at 9:32 am
I would definitely support this bill in Pennsylvania. I had two pet family members die from complications from the rabies vaccine. One was a 12 year old cat with lymphoma. The vet would not see her unless she had the vaccine. She died the same day after getting the vaccination. Then I had my beloved, Stormie, a 13 year old dog, who the vet would not treat unless she had the rabies vaccine. Against my better judgment, I agreed. I rushed her to the er vet the next day and she passed within a month. The er vet said it was from the vaccine.
Kathy Devol
Feb 9, 2020 at 9:28 am
Yes I would agree to this bill. A titer would be great to determine if the pet still has immunity from past Rabies vaccine so as not to be over vacciinated.
Meg Crockett-McNeely
Feb 9, 2020 at 9:23 am
So sorry for your loss of Maggie. We owned two Shih Tzu’s so can definitely relate. We would support the bill for certain.

I wish Poland was as savvy as Delaware in this regard.
Pat S
Feb 9, 2020 at 9:05 am
What a great start! I’ve used titers for other vaccinations and have always wished as my animals aged that I could titer rabies, as well. It’s high time we began to recognize the over vacccination of our animal companions.
Jill Andrews
Feb 9, 2020 at 9:05 am
I’m all for this in Michigan & Florida!
Jody Applebaum
Feb 9, 2020 at 8:58 am
This is absolutely phenomenal! I chose not to vaccinate my older dog the last time he was due for rabies. I was told I had the right to refuse it, even though it’s legally required. I did a titer to “protect” myself, since he travels with me to dog shows. His titer came back with almost double the immunity level. Current research points to the fact that a rabies vaccination can last for at least seven years, if not the lifetime of the animal. I have seen far too many adverse reactions to vaccines. I congratulate the forward-thinking lawmakers of Delaware on passing this very important piece of legislation!

Absolutely I’d love to see this in all USA. Thank you for bringing this jaw forward and to fruition! It’s a win win situation. Pets wont die and or get as many cancers or disease from over vaccinating. Vets will still be able to charge for the titer test The labs processing the tests will hire more people to handle this. Lawmakers get to brag
Thank you Maggie’s owner.

Feb 9, 2020 at 8:10 am
It’s about time and I hope the other 50 states follow soon
Patricia Walter
Feb 9, 2020 at 8:10 am
I totally agree. Most times they are vaccinated without reason. They give the same amount to a ten pound dog as they do to a fifty pound dog. How is that safe? No wonder they get sick.
Joyce Rath
Feb 9, 2020 at 8:09 am
Who do I contact in Virginia to push this bill?
Rosanne
Feb 9, 2020 at 8:03 am
I support this bill 150%!!We have to fight strong and get it passed in every state in the US! I hoped for getting titer testing after the initial rabies shot instead of getting any boosters but this is a start.

I hope this protocol will be accepted in my state of Massachusetts as well as every other one ! It’s about time .
Jean Cervi
Feb 9, 2020 at 6:57 am
Absolutely should be the law in every state! My pets only get the required rabies after the needed vaccines when they are youngsters. Years later all titer tests show more than adequate levels of protection in their systems. Thank goodness Delaware is leading the way to changing awareness and the law.
Deborah

Liza Lambertini
Feb 9, 2020 at 5:23 am
Yes YES yes!!! My three elderly dogs had to have their teeth done. All have been vaccinated throughout their lives. As they got older around 8 I noticed they were having reactions to their shots…. SO I stopped. At around the age of 11 they needed thier teeth done. Not one vet I went to would do anything without then being up to date on their shots, nor considered a titer an option. Basically I was FORCED to get them their shots in order to have their teeth done. Shortly after (within three days) all three of my dogs had seizures. They developed heart issues and renal failure. All died within the space of a year. We spent thousands on vet bills. I broke my heart they all were only 12 yrs old. My Last dog Wolfy who was the youngest Lad chow mix was vaccinated because the State law for dog licensing required it. They forced us to vaccinate he also was 13. Shortly after he developed heart and renal issues and developed cushings. He reacted the the vaccinations the same way my other three did. They all had the same symptoms EXACTLY. That is no coincidence. Vets know that these shots are not necessary after certain age. Yet state laws have done more harm than good in as far as our pets go. The science backs it.
Dee Hopkins
Feb 9, 2020 at 5:05 am
Yes I would like to see this passed in Tennesee. Every time my 11 year old gets vaccinated she is wobbly and sick.
Tamera Higgins

Too many pets have died. Because of this it’s about time this gets taken care of. Thank you for passing this bill and saving the pets lives.
Kim Barson
Feb 9, 2020 at 1:34 am
Fingers crossed that the Governor signs the bill! We had a beautiful collie mix that was known to have a brain injury, resulting in a permanently dilated pupil. Unfortunately, he had to stay at a kennel for a few days and the kennel refused to take titers. So against better judgement, and against what the vaccine itself says (to be given only to healthy animals), he received the vaccine and developed seizures within a month. He died a few months later after the seizures become unmanageable. Please, please stop the cruel state requirements for unnecessary vaccinations!

Feb 9, 2020 at 12:00 am
Yes, I am disgusted my housecats cannot get treatment without rabies vaccines. They never ever leave the house. They are 14 yrs old and should not be over vaccinated. No animal should, but especially older small animals.
Karin
Feb 8, 2020 at 11:53 pm
This is common sense when it comes to mandated vaccines that can cause injury or death.
Now we need this for human beings.

Needs to be enacted in every state for the good of our k9 buds!

Will Falconer, DVM
Feb 8, 2020 at 10:39 pm
Bravo to Al for fighting the good fight and for the legislators in Delaware seeing the light! Let this precedent ring out across the land: rabies over-vaccination needs to STOP. It’s only damaging innocent animals and is too often pushed for profit, in the false name of “law” or worse, “prevention!” Ask the veterinary immunologists if this makes sense before you ring alarms of rabies over taking the U.S. It’s not going to happen, and the key lies in three small letters: DOI. Duration of immunity. It’s a long time, folks, many years if not life. There is exactly this much science behind revaccinating yearly or every three years: 0!

Feb 8, 2020 at 8:58 pm
I would strongly support this bill in Ohio. Rabies over vaccination along with other vaccinations damage and kill way too many dogs every year.
Cathy Kresan
Feb 8, 2020 at 8:50 pm
Absolutely the right way to go! We are over vaccinating our dogs and there are lethal consequences – and all required by law! Terrible!
If you want to concentrate on health, this is the only way to go! Require vaccine or titer and we will all be safe – including our pets!
I am speaking because I have a dog that had a severe reaction to a rabies vaccine! I have personal knowledge!
Chelly
Feb 8, 2020 at 8:44 pm
Yes I would support this bill!!! Pets are over vaccinated and some just can’t take it and die. Thank you Delaware for passing this!!
Greg largent
Feb 8, 2020 at 8:27 pm
Bring this to Illinois. There is MORE than enough SCIENTIFIC evidence to support using a titers test to prove Rabies efficacy is present to prevent rabies in the animal.

Yes! We also need laws to stop the puppy mills that are right in broad daylight, to curb the abuse & neglect of these defenseless animals. Aloud to mass bread & protected by their religion. There at least needs to be a limitation on no more than one litter a year. When will our men in power step up?

Karla M Wilson
Feb 8, 2020 at 7:19 pm
Virginia accepts a medical waiver for Rabies vaccination from veterinarians. Accepting a Rabies titer as proof of immunity would benefit all dogs, not just those with a need for medical waiver.
Cindy Douglass
Feb 8, 2020 at 7:08 pm
I hate to think that my 16.5 pound young dog gets the same rabies that a 150 pound dog gets. It makes no sense and leads to over medicating and attacking the immune system. We would never give a human baby the same dosage of medicine that we give it’s mom! Congratulations to Delaware!!

Sue
Feb 8, 2020 at 6:58 pm
I am very glad to see this. Dr John Robb DVM is a proponent of this. I agree that we should be able to titer test. Vets, vet techs, RVS rehabbers and rehabbers that want the added protection of a rabies vaccination are titer tested for their Rabies immunity to see if they need a booster. All states should allow this with out companion animals.

Victoria S Lloyd
Feb 8, 2020 at 6:42 pm
I would support it in California! No need to make it for immune compromised-only. Titers can prove immunity, so any animal with positive titer test should be exempt!
