SANTA FE – A dog has tested positive for rabies in Grant County, the eleventh animal rabies case identified in the county since 2020.
The diagnosis has been confirmed through testing conducted by the New Mexico Department of Health (NMDOH) Scientific Laboratory Division.
This dog had not received any veterinarian-administered rabies vaccines. A rabies vaccine purchased over the counter had been administered.
"Only rabies vaccines that are administered by a veterinarian are legally recognized," Dr. Erin Phipps, state public health veterinarian for NMDOH. "Vaccines acquired through other avenues may not have been properly stored and lose their effectiveness, leading to lack of protection for those diseases."
