(510 ILCS 30/14) (from Ch. 8, par. 146)
Sec. 14.
Vaccines.
The use of vaccines containing Brucella
microorganisms
shall be permitted in the manner and upon the conditions hereinafter set
forth. Only vaccines produced under license of the Animal and Plant
Health Inspection Service of the United States Department of Agriculture
or any successor agency for calfhood vaccinations against bovine
brucellosis may be used. Such vaccines shall be sold by the distributor
only to a licensed veterinarian, and shall be administered only by a
licensed veterinarian or a veterinarian in the employ of the Animal and
Plant Health Inspection Service of the United States Department of
Agriculture or any successor agency. All animals vaccinated shall be
positively identified. The Department may by regulation require brucellosis
vaccination of female cattle or female bison entering or moving within this
State.
The veterinarian vaccinating such animals shall give to the owner an
official record identifying such animals and stating that they were
vaccinated with a licensed vaccine, giving the date of vaccination, the
serial number and name of the manufacturer of such vaccine, and the
dosage used.
Animals vaccinated at such age, when accompanied by an official
record of vaccination, or any animals that have lost their ear tags but
have the official calfhood vaccination tattoo in the ear may move
unrestricted, even though they may react to an official test for
brucellosis, until they reach the age of 24 months for beef breeds and 20
months for dairy breeds. Upon request, the
veterinarian vaccinating any such animal shall test the animal for
brucellosis prior to vaccination and shall give the owner an official
record showing the result of the test and that the animal was then
vaccinated with a licensed vaccine, giving the date of vaccination, the
serial number and name of the manufacturer of such vaccine, and the
dosage used.
