Counterfeit batches of Nobivac rabies vaccine detected in Russia
Rosselkhoznadzor has warned owners of pets and livestock about the appearance of counterfeit batches of the popular Nobivac vaccine on the Russian market. This product is widely used for the prevention of rabies in cats, dogs, and other animals.
Agency specialists emphasize that the use of counterfeit medications poses a serious threat. Unlike the original product, counterfeit goods do not undergo the necessary quality and safety controls, and therefore cannot guarantee protection for the animal against the dangerous virus.
Currently, experts are conducting an investigation to determine exactly how the counterfeit batches entered veterinary clinics and stores. Pet owners are advised to be vigilant and to check certificates of conformity when purchasing the vaccine or having their animals vaccinated.
Specialists recommend using only trusted veterinary centers that work with official suppliers. In case of any doubt regarding the quality of the vaccine, owners should request documentation for the product or contact their regional Rosselkhoznadzor office for clarification.
The situation is under strict control by state authorities. Information regarding the identified counterfeit batches will be updated on the agency's official resources to prevent further distribution of the dangerous products.
