Rabies Manual
In December 1991 with assistance from state and private agencies, the Connecticut Veterinary Medical Association published the “State of Connecticut Manual for Rabies Management and Protocols”. It served as an essential reference for veterinarians and other professionals who were expected to provide assistance and advice regarding rabies. In large part this web site is based on the manual and includes updated information with links that will provide further information about rabies and who to contact in the event of a rabies incident.
