Cat vaccines?

[Koronin]

My vet told me either last year or the year before they are working on a 3 yr rabies vaccine that is non adjuvant, but it is not ready yet. Or at least it wasn't a few months ago.
State law in NC requires rabbies vacine. The ONLY way to not have to get a cat (even an indoor only cat) vacinated is they have to be on the medial exemption list. My oldest cat due to all her health issues was very close to getting put on that list. She's finally doing pretty well at this point. This particlar one only gets rabbies, she doesn't get anything else, the other two get distemper shots as well.

My vet called. I was right. She apologized that she had gotten confused, but indicated that the clinic does not use Purevax vaccines, rablies for otherwise. Which means that not only was she wrong in insisting that there was a 3-year version of it, but in insisting that the clinic "only" uses non-adjuvanted vaccines. It seems to me that that's a pretty significant thing to be wrong about. She encouraged me to find a vet for Izzy that offers Purevax (which I have done), but it leaves me with a big quandry. I've otherwise liked working with this clinic and they've taken very good care of Henry (my 14 year old cat) for a variety of issues, some of which have been serious. As he ages, having a nearby vet with several docs, emergency hours, generous regular hours is a good thing. So I don't know that I want to severe ties with them, but at the same time, I'm troubled by her lapse and by the clinic's apparent decision to use adjuvanted vaccines and not at least informing and offering their clients the safer choice. So, I don't know what to do. The only other clinic in town does not use Purevax. The clinic we're taking Izzy to is about 20 minutes away.
