NSAC requires that all students entering the AHT program be
vaccinated against rabies. This is required as a result of the increasing
possibility that animals in this region may be infected. The HDVC is required
in three doses - one on each of days 0, 7, and 21. AHT students will be
required to have the vaccination process complete and show proof of vaccination
before registration in the program will be deemed complete. AHT students
will be required to have their serum tested for rabies antibodies two
years following the vaccination and those with inadequate levels of protection
will be required to get an additional dose of HDVC.
