A veterinarian licensed in this State may sell rabies vaccine to a person who owns cattle, sheep, goats or cervids as defined in section 1333. A veterinarian who sells rabies vaccine in accordance with this section is not, as a result of selling the vaccine, liable for claims arising from the administration of the vaccine by the purchaser.
An animal vaccinated against rabies by a person who is not a licensed veterinarian, a certified rabies vaccinator appointed and certified pursuant to section 3920 or a licensed veterinary technician under the direct supervision or indirect supervision of a licensed veterinarian may not be certified as vaccinated against rabies and must be treated as an unvaccinated animal under Title 22, chapter 251, subchapter 5 and rules adopted pursuant to that chapter. For purposes of this section, “direct supervision” has the same meaning as in Title 32, section 4853, subsection 4-A; “indirect supervision” has the same meaning as in Title 32, section 4853, subsection 4-B; “licensed veterinarian” has the same meaning as in Title 32, section 4853, subsection 5; and “licensed veterinary technician” has the same meaning as in Title 32, section 4853, subsection 11.
