Here is a copy of the email I got back from the research company -
Quote:

Mr. Goat;

We have been contacted by various people about pursuing this vaccine for humans. Right now it would be an issue of cost for us since we fund all of our projects ourselves.

But it is definitely a project we plan on pursuing at some point in the future.

Thank you;

Janet L Jones

Product Representative

Rich received his first rattlesnake vaccine injection this afternoon; will get second in approx. 30 days.
My vet spoke with several California vets who have been using the vaccine for over a year. Reaction to the vaccination is rare and at worst diarrhea, vomiting and lethargy lasting one day or less. My vet photocopied the product info sheet for me and it shows "The incidence of such events is 0.024%, or less than three cases per 10,000 doses administered." CA vets also reported the vaccine, though not offering 100% protection, does give significant protection compared to the non-vaccinated dog. So far, Rich has shown no reaction, but is pissed at me 'cause I bought him "Muttluk" booties to wear when hiking very rocky terrain.......he seems to think I lie awake nights thinking up ways to humiliate him!
Crazy

If anyone would like a copy of this product info, PM me with your mailing address.

OK, Rich had NO reaction at all to the rattlesnake vaccine.....just curls up in the corner sticking his tongue out at me and shaking his tail Very Happy

Kidding of course....no reaction at all is the good news. I'll take him in for the second injection March 15.
