Rabies Vaccinations

Question:

The rules states 'Dogs must be vaccinated according to French legislation'.

In general, even in the UK, the rabies vaccine is valid for 3 years. Is that the case in France too?

 

Michéle's answer:
No!
Please be aware that dogs must be vaccinated against Rabies before they enter France.
The vaccine must be administered between 21 days and 12 month before entering France. Rabies vaccinations older than 12 months are not valid.

If the rabies vaccination was the animal's first vaccine then it must wait for 21 days before entering the country. There is no time delay with booster injections, providing there is proof that the booster was administered before the last vaccine had expired (12 mth).
