Boehringer Ingelheim initiates voluntary recall limited number of rabies vaccine vials

Boehringer Ingelheim has initiated a voluntary recall of IMRAB® 3TF, 1 mL, Serial 18665 after a limited number of vials in this lot were found to contain sterile water instead of vaccine. Boehringer is recommending revaccination for any dog, cat, or ferret that received a vaccine from this serial to avoid gaps in protection, maintain compliance with local rabies regulations, and protect public health.  A second dose of rabies vaccination does not pose a health risk for the pet beyond the typical considerations associated with any vaccination.  

Boehringer is directly contacting clinics that received vaccine from this lot to provide replacement vaccine and support revaccination. Veterinarians seeking additional guidance may contact their Boehringer representative or Boehringer's Veterinary Technical Solutions team at 1‑888‑637‑4251.
