Jude Dawson’s article, published on this site in September
and also in the Veterinary Record (Oct. 2013 vol. 173:14 pp.348-349), on the
risk posed to vets by the emergence of rabies, has sparked a wealth of
interest.
Most surprising, however, was a communication from the
offices of Professor the Lord Trees. Lord Trees is interested to take the
matter further and to that end has tabled two questions in Parliament, relating
to the article, for written answers from Her Majesty’s government.
Also, following the article's publication, the British Small Animal Veterinary Association (BSAVA) has written to Public Health England, pointing out many of the issues that were raised in the article. The letter, signed by BSAVA President Professor Michael Day, urges Public Health England to consider including veterinary staff on the list of those entitled to receive pre-exposure rabies vaccinations.
