Oh, damn Hawaii and their over reaching "laws." So, your dog is going to the mainland U.S.? He'd have to tangle with a rabid skunk or bat or coyote to make this "law" make any sense at all, wouldn't he?
I think the risk is there with all the rabies vaccines, and 1 year and 3 year is most often the very same vaccine, just studied for different lengths of time. Is there a thimerosal free version? If so, I might prefer that. It's just important to know that mercury (thimerosal) is far from the only risk with vaccination. Here's an eye opener about that.
