Apparently, Fort Dodge is recalling thousands of doses of its' Rabies Vaccine. You can read the story below:

I'll edit this with the important info in a moment.

Edit: Fort Dodge Animal Health sent a letter to veterinarians earlier this month recalling 330,000 doses of the vaccine Rabvac 3 TF, serial number 873113A.
...
"Because the batch of vaccine in question only lasts two years and most the clinics received it in November 2004, there's a five or six month window to give veterinary hospitals and their clients time to come together to resolve the problem," said Dr. Tony Henderson, a local veterinarian.
...
Pet owners can also check the rabies certificate they should have received, which lists the manufacturer and serial number.

Thanks for the info.... my vet clinic always sends out info on such issues...plus updates as to any shots due. Some don't... so people should be made aware .

No problem. :) Somebody posted it on Corgi-L, and I thought I would pass it along to the forum here. I checked all my dogs Rabies Certificates just to be safe, and we're good.
