According to the press center of the Veterinary Administration of the Rostov Region
In case of failure to provide assistance to a sick animal, the reason for this can be recognized as valid if the doctor himself was sick at that time or it was impossible to leave a seriously ill animal. The question of whether the reason is justified is decided on a case-by-case basis after examining all the circumstances of the case. The veterinarian is responsible for the untimely provision of assistance. This is due to the fact that veterinary specialists have to do various things, up to the preparation of feed; travel around farms. In such cases, medical assistance cannot always be provided, often there is no one to provide it.
Professional violations resulting in damage, death of the animal; refusal to provide assistance with reference to the fact that the doctor does not have medicines or that the animal is outside the zone of his service - are punished under the articles of the criminal code, common to all professions.
Criminal responsibility for violation of the rules for combating epizootics occurs in the event that it entailed the spread of contagious diseases or there was a real threat of their spread. ( Criminal Code of the Republic of Belarus Article 284. Violation of veterinary rules

Violation of the rules can be expressed in hiding cases of acutely contagious diseases, avoidance of preventive vaccinations, violation of the quarantine regime, etc. When taking measures against infectious diseases, veterinary specialists are liable in cases where negligence, negligence, violation of instructions, instructions.
In practice, there are complications during vaccinations as a result of the use of low-quality grafting material (damage to biological products due to improper storage, damage to started vials), as well as due to violation of asepsis.
The expert needs to find out what caused the complications after vaccination. If the doctor acted according to the instructions, then he is not responsible.
Issuance of knowingly false official documents is considered as official forgery provided for Art. 427 of the Criminal Code of the Republic of Belarus, the issuance of incorrect certificates, veterinary certificates, as well as unfounded documents, is punishable under the criminal code.
1. Introduction by an official or other authorized person of knowingly false information and entries into official documents, or forgery of documents, or drawing up and issuance of knowingly false documents, committed out of mercenary or other personal interest, in the absence of signs of a more serious crime, is punishable by a fine, or deprivation of the right hold certain positions or engage in certain activities, or corrective labor for a term of up to two years, or restraint of liberty for the same term, or imprisonment for a term of up to two years.
2. The same actions committed with the aim of distorting the data of state statistical reporting, are punishable by deprivation of the right to hold certain positions or engage in certain activities with a fine, or restriction of freedom for up to three years with deprivation of the right to hold certain positions or engage in certain activities, or deprivation freedom for the same period with the deprivation of the right to hold certain positions or engage in certain activities.
Veterinarians bear full responsibility for violation of the rules of storage, leave; registration, transportation, transfer of potent, poisonous and narcotic drugs.
Careless actions of veterinarians. A crime committed through negligence, as a result of the action or inaction of a person who in a particular situation foresaw the possibility of socially dangerous consequences of his behavior, frivolously counted on their prevention or did not foresee them at all, although he could and should have foreseen them ( Article 23 of the Criminal Code of the Republic of Belarus).
Careless or negligent actions of doctors are most often regarded as malfeasance - negligence Article 428 of the Criminal Code of the Republic of Belarus. They are very varied.
medical errors may occur due to:
Insufficient qualification of a veterinary worker;
Difficult to diagnose diseases;
Bad working conditions.
Medical errors most often manifest themselves in the form of diagnostic errors.
Medical errors can be divided into objective and subjective, mixed.
Errors of an objective nature.
1. Such errors may occur due to changed conditions for feeding, keeping animals.
2. Errors associated with insufficient training of veterinary specialists.
3. In a novice doctor, mistakes are often associated with insufficient knowledge of the disease, as well as with the inability to correctly, systematically examine the patient, with the inability to correctly assess individual symptoms of the disease.
4. Insufficient technical equipment of veterinarians and institutions.
5. Large amount of work and terms of reference of a veterinarian.
Subjective diagnostic errors associated with the individual characteristics of the veterinarian, they depend on the type of nervous activity, mental abilities, professional commitment, etc.
Mixed errors are associated with objective factors, but the degree of their manifestation depends on the subjective properties of the doctor:
1. Difficulty in diagnosing a disease with a complex, atypical clinical picture.
2. An incorrect or distorted analysis can lead to a clinical error, especially for a novice doctor. The difficulty of individual observation plays a role here, the complexity of collecting anamnesis in large livestock farms. In addition, caregivers are often responsible for the illness or death of an animal.
3. Diagnosis "by intuition": often intuition is contrary to accuracy, such a diagnosis requires proof.
4. Fascination with "fashionable" diagnoses, "fashionable" treatments, "fashionable" medicinal substances can cause mistakes.
5. The so-called suggestion of a diagnosis can be a mistake, it is especially dangerous on the part of authoritative persons, who often make a diagnosis by intuition.
6. The source of diagnostic errors can be an overestimation of a laboratory test, the indicators of which are very variable.
To accidents include cases of death of animals as a result of natural disasters (fire, lightning strike, earthquake, attack by wild animals).
Accidents are also cases of disease or death of animals for reasons beyond the control of the doctor, attendants, when they could not foresee, provide for the disease, death of the animal. For example, during castration, the animal went into shock. The doctor could not foresee it, since shock phenomena during castration are rare and for these cases the rules of professional work do not provide for any preventive measures. Accidents are not punishable.
Responsibility of the veterinarian for the transfer of their functions
The veterinarian is held liable in cases where, as a result of the work performed, damage is caused by a person who does not have a legal right to do so, but acts on behalf of the veterinarian. In practice, there are cases when a doctor delegates diagnostic tests, for example, tuberculosis, to veterinarians without checking how qualified they are. As a result, subsequent commission studies reveal a significant number of reacting animals. In such cases, the doctor is held accountable.
Veterinarians may be held liable for reassigning the head of the farm and other persons to carry out disinfection during the elimination of infectious diseases, without ensuring supervision and control by the veterinary staff; for entrusting inexperienced workers with the use of potent drugs, vaccinations, and surgical operations, if as a result of their improper performance material damage has been caused to the farm, the owner of the animal, or harm to human health.
In conclusion, it should be noted that the investigation of cases to bring veterinarians to justice presents great difficulties due to the lack of necessary legal knowledge among doctors and special knowledge in veterinary medicine among employees of the investigating authorities and the court.
In the course of the investigation, it becomes necessary to conduct a qualified and authoritative forensic veterinary examination. The commission examination should be based, first of all, on objectivity in order to avoid narrowly professional errors. When analyzing medical cases, the expert commission must take into account the objective conditions in which the activity of the accused veterinarian took place. In the process of investigation, examination, court, it is necessary to thoroughly understand the reasons for the professional offense of a veterinary specialist. The same outcome is evaluated differently depending on the conditions in which it occurred.
High qualification, moral qualities of a doctor, observance of medical ethics serve as reliable means of preventing medical offenses.
Do cats need to be vaccinated annually?
A very interesting article on the topic of annual animal vaccination. For me, this question remains open, an unambiguous opinion regarding vaccinations has not yet been formed. There are many opinions based on personal experience, opinions are different, often contradictory.
“Efficiency or “Does it work?”
Every procedure to which we subject ourselves or those we care for must be beneficial; otherwise it doesn't make any sense. This should be obvious, especially when it comes to medical (veterinary) procedures. Vaccination can give animals immunity to dangerous diseases, but how effective and useful is it to repeat this procedure every year, as is now recommended in many countries?
Immunologists have long recognized the fact that vaccinations against viral diseases confer virtually lifelong immunity. It is for this reason that you yourself are not forced to undergo annual vaccination against those diseases against which you were vaccinated in early childhood. Any therapist knows that your immune system was already adequately stimulated in childhood, and the cellular memory responsible for immune responses will definitely “remember” and signal the immune system to adequately resist the virus if it dares to attack your body. What is the fundamental difference between us and our pets, if, unlike us, they are forced to undergo revaccination every year? Let me quote the words of experts in the field of immunology. The text below was published in Modern Veterinary Therapy, Volume XI, published a few years ago (it is a highly respected, peer-reviewed publication every 4 years and publishes the most up-to-date information on veterinary medicine). This text was written by veterinary immunologists Ronald Schultz (University of Wisconsin) and Tom Phillips (Scrips Research Institute)
“Annual revaccination is a practice that began many years ago, with no scientific justification or experimental evidence for its necessity. From the point of view of immunology, there is practically no reason for annual revaccination. Immunity to viruses persists in animals for years or even for life .... Moreover, re-vaccination of most viral vaccines does not stimulate the anamnestic (secondary) immune response at all…. In our opinion, the practice of annual revaccination should be recognized as ineffective….” (read Ronalz Schulz's article here)
In simple terms, this means that every year you spend money (and risk your pet's health, as we will discuss below) to inject your pet with something that will not benefit him. Immunity vaccinated at an early age retains its strength, and it is he who interacts with each subsequent vaccinated vaccine, in fact, neutralizing its effect. In the same way, if you vaccinate a small puppy or kitten too early, then the maternal antibodies that are transmitted to the baby along with maternal immunity interfere with the vaccine and prevent an immune response from being vaccinated against the viruses being vaccinated.
I was fortunate to meet Dr. Schultz at a veterinary conference a few years ago. For nearly 25 years, he has worked with companies that sell animal vaccines, doing specific immunological studies for them. In particular, it was interesting to hear how the "annual" and "three-year" rabies vaccines actually differ. According to the instructions on these products, annual vaccines must be repeated every year, and three-year vaccines every 3 years. However, as it turns out, the real difference between these vaccines is the duration of the studies conducted in experimental animals.
At the end of the year from the date of vaccination, the animals were exposed to live rabies virus, after which the survivors were counted and the vaccine was released with the label “annual”. The same vaccine was tested for three years, data was collected, after which it was released with the label "three-year rabies vaccine."
In fact, if 5-7 year studies were conducted, then 5- and 7-year vaccines could also appear on the market.
The rabies vaccine is so effective at immunizing that it is more likely that it can confer lifelong immunity on the animal. The question is: why do we vaccinate rabies every year? Unfortunately, in many countries, animal vaccination laws against rabies completely ignore the evidence of immunology.
What about the other mandatory vaccines? They are also viral, and in the same way there are no immunological grounds for their annual use. In addition, most of these vaccines are not required by the vaccination law. Or there is no deadline for their repetition. And some of them are generally useless to vaccinate an animal older than one year.
Most of the recommendations of traditional veterinary medicine are based on fear. If there are "bad bacteria" around that can get us (or our pets), then we want to use something that will give us protection against these "bad bacteria".
We have all heard horror stories about dogs dying from parvovirus infection, so we are advised to make sure to get vaccinated against this deadly disease every year (or even twice a year!). But do you know how many adult dogs die each year from parvovirus? Ask your veterinarian this question.
Parvovirus infection is a disease of puppies under 12 months of age and is sometimes seen in older dogs with weak immune systems due to unhealthy lifestyles (commercial diets and frequent vaccinations!). So what's the point of getting the parvovirus vaccine every year for the rest of your life?
Coronavirus infection is again a disease mainly of puppyhood. It causes diarrhea and vomiting in puppies, but differs from Parvovirus in that it is not fatal. So is it worth it to vaccinate a dog also against such a disease that is not fatal and which can be dealt with without consequences for the body? According to Dr. Schulz, this is not necessary at all. However, this and other non-lethal viruses are constantly used in multivalent (multi-component) vaccines that are injected annually into our pets.
You ask, why then does this practice of annual revaccination exist at all? A good question that is being asked more and more of traditional veterinary medicine. Here is how noted researcher at the University of California-Davis Veterinary Medicine, Professor Neils Pedersen, commented on the annual vaccination requirement (comments were published in the highly respected traditional journal of the American Association of Veterinary Hospitals):
“The current practice of vaccination has no medical justification. It's time to question the wisdom of yearly vaccination boosts, the adequacy of using multivalent products (combinations of vaccines, most notably DHLPP for dogs and FVRCP for cats) and non-mandatory vaccines. If we do this, pet immunization will finally take on the status of a medical rather than an economic procedure.”
If we want to get closer to our goal of having healthy pets, protected from all diseases, we should focus on raising and maintaining them in such a way that would be natural for them, in accordance with their nature and allow them to live a free, happy and fulfilling life. Let your pets be as nature created them, and then they will have an immune system that can adequately respond to any adverse external influence. In our efforts to protect pets from all diseases, we must not forget that it is their immune system that protects them, not the vaccine solution in the syringe.
Safety or "Is it not harmful?"
Annual vaccination of our four-legged friends is not just useless. It can cause significant harm to their health.
If someone, even in a white coat, suggests that you take some kind of medicine or get an injection, you immediately have two logical questions:
1. Will it benefit me (or will it work)?
2. Is it safe?
If we ask these questions about the annual revaccination of animals, and ask them to knowledgeable people, we will get a negative answer twice. The fact that the annual revaccination is not effective from the point of view of immunology, we have already understood. But the question of the safety of frequent vaccination is even more important and serious, as more evidence is accumulating in modern veterinary medicine that vaccination is associated with degenerative chronic diseases.
Degenerative diseases have many names: arthritis, hypo- and hyperthyroidism (hypo- and hyperthyroidism), allergies, asthma, inflammatory bowel disease, recurrent ear infections, skin diseases, heart disease, diabetes, kidney failure, cancers, etc. .
What makes all of these diseases especially horrendous is that they are interconnected, they are difficult to treat, and they progress slowly but surely, causing a process of tissue and organ degeneration. This means that the sick animal gradually fades away, its health deteriorates, and the best that modern conventional veterinary medicine can give such an animal is supportive treatment that controls the symptoms with suppressive (suppressive) therapy. Such therapy is usually full of problems in itself, including side effects from the drugs used (often hormonal). This kind of supportive treatment, based on the suppression of symptoms, often itself creates new, more serious illnesses.
Therefore, the most important task of those who care for animals is, in principle, to prevent the development of degenerative chronic diseases in their pets.
Between vaccination and the onset of a chronic disease is usually 1-2 months. For traditional veterinary medicine, this is not "close enough" to make a link between vaccination and disease outbreak. However, this connection exists. This is evidenced by both scientific statistics and the life practice of many dog and cat owners.
For the past 10-12 years, an English veterinarian has been asking the same question to his visitors who brought allergic, scratched dogs to him: “When did the itch start?”. The responses of the owners of poor animals are impressive. 75% of respondents accurately remember that itching in their pets began within 1-2 months from the moment of puppy vaccination.
In human medical practice, it is said that there is a connection between vaccination of children and childhood autism, with the number of sick children increasing dramatically with the increase in the number of mandatory childhood vaccines. What do you think is the interval between vaccination and the onset of the disease? About a month.
In 1996, the results of a scientific study were published, the authors of which studied the problem of a deadly disease in dogs that affects the immune system. This disease is known as immune-dependent hemolytic anemia (IDHA). The essence of IHCA is that the dog's immune system attacks its own red blood cells, mistaking them for foreign ones. Needless to say, how dangerous this disease is for the life of an animal, and how large the percentage of a fatal ending is, since the life of the body is impossible without red blood cells - "transporters" of oxygen in the blood. The study involved 58 dogs suffering from IHD. For 2 years, these dogs were observed in the veterinary clinic at the research institute. One of the questions that were asked to the owners of these dogs was: “Did anything precede the start of ISGA?”
A statistically significant group of owners responded that, on average, their dogs received an annual revaccination one month prior to the onset of illness. The findings were so statistically significant that the authors even titled their study report "Vaccine-Associated Immune-Dependent Hemolytic Anemia in Dogs" (Duval and Giger, J Vet Intern Med 1996;10:290-295).
In cats over the past 10 years, researchers have identified a clear association between vaccination and malignant tumors.
These malignant cell growths occurred in the places where the vaccine was usually injected: on the withers or on the thigh of the hind leg. This disease is considered fatal, regardless of the methods of treatment used, including permanent surgery. It is now quite clear that this disease is caused by two specific vaccines: rabies and feline leukemia (leukemia). In 2000, after the connection between vaccination and this type of cancer was finally confirmed by numerous studies, the disease received a new name: "Vaccine-associated sarcoma."
Veterinary science has slowly begun to re-evaluate the practice of annual revaccination of animals. In 2000, the American Association of Feline Practitioners issued an official statement against the annual vaccination of cats. Their position was based on a long-term Cornell study in which kittens were vaccinated only once at a few months of age. Checking grown cats 7 years after a single vaccination clearly showed that they have a working immunity to the vaccinated viruses. Frankly, I don't think we need to wait for this to finally reach all veterinary professionals.
Through annual revaccination, we put our pets at constant risk of developing degenerative chronic diseases. I am sure that, years from now, we will look back with wonder at the present day and wonder how anyone could ever consider the practice of annual revaccination of animals to be wise. And how great it would be to remember this with a smile, scratching your twenty ... four-legged friend, saying: “We knew. We stopped. That's why we're still together."

General information about rabies
3.1. Rabies is an acute viral disease of animals and humans, characterized by signs of polioencephalomyelitis and absolute mortality.
The causative agent belongs to the rhabdovirus family.
The reservoir and the main sources of the causative agent of rabies are wild predators, dogs and cats. Taking into account the nature of the pathogen reservoir, epizootics of urban and natural types are distinguished.
In urban-type epizootics, the main spreaders of the disease are stray and neglected dogs, and in natural-type epizootics, wild predators (fox, raccoon dog, arctic fox, wolf, corsac, jackal). In areas with an increased density of their populations, persistent natural foci of the disease are formed.
Infection of humans and animals occurs through direct contact with sources of the rabies pathogen as a result of a bite or salivation of damaged skin or external mucous membranes.
3.2. When organizing measures for the prevention and control of rabies, one should distinguish between an epizootic focus, an unfavorable point and a threatened zone.
Epizootic foci of rabies - apartments, residential buildings, private households of citizens, livestock buildings, livestock farms, summer camps, pastures, forests and other objects where animals with rabies are found.
Unfavorable area - a settlement or part of a large settlement, a separate livestock farm, farm, pasture, forest, on the territory of which an epizootic focus of rabies has been identified. The threatened zone includes settlements, livestock farms, pastures, hunting grounds and other territories where there is a threat of rabies introduction or activation of natural foci of the disease.
An epidemic focus is an epizootic focus in which human diseases have arisen.
Part 4
Prevention of rabies in animals and humans
4.1. Heads of livestock farms, enterprises, institutions, organizations and citizens - owners of animals are obliged:
- - comply with the rules established by the local administration for keeping dogs, cats, fur-bearing animals and predatory animals; - deliver dogs and cats belonging to them within the time limits established by the local administration on the proposal of the chief state veterinary inspector of the district (city), to veterinary medical and preventive institutions for examination, diagnostic studies and preventive vaccinations with anti-rabies vaccine; - register their dogs in the manner established by the local administration; - do not allow dogs that have not been vaccinated against rabies into personal farmsteads, farms, herds, flocks and herds; - take measures to prevent wild animals from entering herds, flocks, herds, livestock buildings; for this purpose, graze farm animals and keep them on farms, feedlots, in summer camps under constant protection using dogs vaccinated against rabies; - immediately inform the veterinary specialist serving the farm (settlement) about suspected rabies in animals and cases of biting of agricultural and domestic animals by wild predators, dogs or cats, take the necessary measures to securely isolate suspicious or bitten animals.
4.2. Dogs, cats and other animals that have bitten people or animals (except for those obviously ill with rabies) are subject to immediate delivery by the owner or a special team for catching stray dogs and cats to the nearest veterinary medical institution for examination and quarantine under the supervision of specialists within 10 days.
4.3. In some cases, with the permission of a veterinary medical institution, an animal that has bitten people or animals may be left with the owner, who has issued a written obligation to keep this animal in an isolated room for 10 days and submit it for examination within the time period specified by the veterinarian in charge of supervision. .
4.4. The results of monitoring a quarantined animal are recorded in a special journal and reported in writing to the institution where the injured person is vaccinated, and to the center of sanitary and epidemiological supervision at the place of residence of the victim.

4.10. Public utilities, housing and maintenance organizations, the administration of markets, meat and milk processing enterprises, shops, canteens, restaurants, dormitory commandants, homeowners are required to maintain the territory of enterprises, markets, landfills, sites for garbage and other waste in a proper sanitary condition, to prevent the accumulation of stray dogs and cats in such places, to take measures to exclude the possibility of dogs and cats entering basements, attics and other non-residential premises.
4.11. Sale, purchase and export of dogs outside the region (krai, republic) is allowed if there is a veterinary certificate with a mark on the vaccination of the dog against rabies.
4.12. In order to timely detect and prevent the spread of rabies in wild animals, employees of forestry, nature conservation, hunting, nature reserves and wildlife sanctuaries are required to:
- - immediately inform the veterinary service specialists about cases of disease or unusual behavior of wild animals (lack of fear of humans, unprovoked attacks on people or animals); - send to veterinary laboratories for rabies testing the corpses of wild predators (foxes, raccoon dogs, arctic foxes, wolves, corsacs, jackals) found in hunting grounds, in the territories of reserves, wildlife sanctuaries, in green areas of large settlements; - to regulate the number of wild predatory animals, to shoot stray dogs and cats poaching in hunting grounds; - when checking vouchers and hunting tickets for hunters, the hunting inspection of nature protection and the huntsman service are obliged to check the registration certificates of dogs, indicating vaccination against rabies; unvaccinated dogs are not allowed to hunt.
4.13. In all settlements of the Russian Federation, all dogs, regardless of their affiliation, and, if necessary, cats, are subject to mandatory preventive immunization against rabies with the use of anti-rabies vaccines adopted in practice in the manner and within the time limits stipulated by the instructions for their use. An inventory of immunized dogs with the addresses of their owners must be attached to the act of vaccination. In the registration certificates of dogs make marks about the vaccinations carried out.
4.14. In areas of stationary trouble for rabies of wild predators, scheduled preventive vaccination of farm animals (primarily cattle) at risk of infection is carried out. If there are economic opportunities, campaigns of oral immunization of wild predators against rabies are regularly repeated.
Part 5
Measures for rabies in animals
5.1. The diagnosis of "rabies" is made on the basis of a complex of epizootological, clinical, pathoanatomical data and the results of laboratory tests.
5.2. For research on rabies, a fresh corpse or head of small animals is sent to the laboratory, and from large animals - the head or brain.
5.3. Laboratory tests for rabies are carried out immediately. The results of the study are reported to the veterinary institution or veterinary specialist who sent the biomaterial to the laboratory, and to the chief state veterinary inspector of the district (city).
5.4. The chief state veterinary inspector of a district (city), upon receipt of information on the detection of a case of rabies in animals, is obliged:
- - immediately inform the territorial center of the State Sanitary and Epidemiological Supervision, the chief state veterinary inspectors of neighboring regions and the higher veterinary authority about the disease of animals; - together with a representative of the State Sanitary and Epidemiological Supervision Service, go to the site, conduct an epizootic and epidemiological examination of the epizootic focus and the unfavorable point, determine the boundaries of the threatened zone and develop an action plan to eliminate the epizootic focus and prevent new cases of the disease; - draw up materials on the establishment of quarantine and submit them for approval to the local administration.
5.5. Under the terms of the quarantine, it is not allowed to hold exhibitions of dogs and cats, brood and training of dogs in settlements that are unfavorable for rabies. The trade in pets is stopped, the export of dogs and cats outside the disadvantaged area and the capture (for export to zoos, for the purpose of settling in other areas, etc.) of wild animals in the quarantined territory and in the threatened zone are prohibited.
5.6. Specialists of the veterinary and sanitary-epidemiological services organize the following activities in rabies-affected areas:
- - carry out explanatory work among the population about the danger of rabies and measures to prevent it; - organize door-to-door (door-to-door) tours of a dysfunctional settlement to identify persons in need of vaccinations against rabies, check the conditions for keeping dogs, cats and other animals, identify animals with rabies, suspicious of the disease and suspected of infecting animals; - kill all identified animals with rabies, as well as dogs and cats suspicious of the disease, except for those who have bitten people or animals, which are isolated and left under observation; - the corpses of animals killed and dead from rabies are burned or disposed of at enterprises for the production of meat and bone meal. Burials are allowed in cattle cemeteries. Skinning of corpses is prohibited; - when cases of rabies in wild animals are detected, together with nature protection and hunting authorities, they take all available measures (shooting, trapping, baiting in burrows) to reduce the number of wild predators, regardless of the hunting periods established in the area.
5.7. In the epizootic focus of rabies, a constant monitoring of a group of animals (farm, herd, herd, flock, herd) is established, from which sick or suspicious for rabies disease are isolated. These animals are examined at least three times a day and subjected to forced vaccinations of the rabies vaccine in accordance with the instructions for its use. After vaccinations, a 60-day isolation of animals is required.
5.8. Clinically healthy animals bitten by wild predators or dogs are allowed, regardless of vaccinations against rabies, to kill for meat.

5.11. Wool obtained from clinically healthy animals of a group disadvantaged by rabies is exported from the farm in containers made of dense fabric only to processing enterprises with an indication in the veterinary certificate that it is subject to disinfection in accordance with the current "Instruction for the disinfection of raw materials of animal origin and enterprises for its preparation, storage and processing.
5.12. Places where there were animals sick and suspicious of rabies, animal care items, clothing and other things contaminated with saliva and other secretions of animals with rabies, are disinfected in accordance with the current "Instructions for veterinary disinfection of livestock facilities".
5.13. Quarantine is lifted by the decision of the local administration (on the basis of a joint presentation of the chief veterinarian of the district or city and the head of the territorial center of state sanitary and epidemiological supervision) after two months from the date of the last case of rabies in animals, subject to the implementation of the planned anti-epizootic and preventive measures.
Part 6
Anti-epidemic measures
6.1. Persons injured or licked by a rabies patient or animal suspected of having rabies are considered to be at risk of infection with the rabies virus.
6.2. Medical workers who have identified persons at risk of infection with the rabies virus are required to promptly report them (emergency notice, telephone message, etc.) to the territorial Central State Sanitary and Epidemiological Service.
6.3. The Center for State Sanitary and Epidemiological Surveillance is obliged, on the basis of a prompt report from a hospital, outpatient clinic or trauma center (office), surgical office, about each case of treatment regarding each case of the risk of infection with the rabies virus:
- - register the victim in the journal (f. 060U); - immediately conduct an investigation of such a case with filling in the "Card of the epizootic - epidemiological examination of the focus of zoonotic disease" (f. 391-U); - inform the chief state veterinary inspector of the district (city) about known animals that have caused damage, in order to establish observation and quarantine of the latter; - to identify the circle of persons at risk of infection with the rabies virus and in need of therapeutic and prophylactic immunization, and send them to a trauma center (room), and in the absence of the latter, to a surgical room.
6.4. Persons exposed to the risk of infection with the rabies virus undergo a course of therapeutic and prophylactic immunization in accordance with the normative and instructional documents of the RF SCSEN and the Ministry of Health and Medical Industry of the Russian Federation.
6.5. Persons with rabies are hospitalized.
