B. The vaccine is administered to the animal at the age recommended by the manufacturer of the vaccine or determined by the commissioner.   [PL 2001, c. 572, §36 (NEW).]

[PL 2001, c. 572, §36 (NEW).]

2.  Prohibition on certain vaccines.  The commissioner may prohibit a vaccination because the use of the vaccine being administered might cause the presumption that an actual disease or pathogen is present in the State.

[PL 2001, c. 572, §36 (NEW).]

3.  Commissioner's discretion to vaccinate.  Notwithstanding subsection 2, the commissioner may authorize any vaccination necessary to control an outbreak of a disease or to diminish the threat of an outbreak of a disease.
