Rabies certificates today are often generated by the veterinary software system utilized by the hospital. The team member enters the rabies tag number, lot number, and manufacturer of the vaccine. Lot numbers or serial numbers of vaccines are crucial information and must be entered in the event of a recall. This information allows for hospitals to identify who received the recalled vaccine. The practice management software automatically populates client and patient information; veterinary signature and license numbers must be added to all printed certificates.

If a handwritten rabies vaccine book is used by the practice, the correct owner and patient information must be legible. The following information is required:

 date

 owner’s name

 owner’s address

 owner’s phone numbers

 patient’s name

 patient’s age

 patient’s breed

 patient’s gender.

The rabies tag number and lot number are then entered, in addition to the veterinarian’s signature and license number. It is imperative to ensure the information has been added correctly and legibly, as often the rabies tag and number help to identify lost pets.
