The new border rules include a ban on bringing any dog under six months old into the U.S.
New rules for bringing dogs into the United States set to take effect next month will have some unique impacts in Alaska.
Coburn said the new standardized border rules include a ban on bringing any dog under six months old into the U.S. “So if it’s a lay vaccinator, that will not be accepted is my understanding,” she said. “So for rural Alaska with no veterinary services, those vaccines given by a lay vaccinator are appropriate in our state, and they’re a very important public health intervention. But they will not be accepted for international travel.”
“I can tell you we’ve had many, many questions and people calling with questions or concerns or trying to get more information,” she said.
