In Recognition of Dr. Joseph Nebzydoski’s Commitment to
Animal Health and Public Safety
WHEREAS, Rabies is 100% fatal once the virus has entered the nervous system; and
WHEREAS, post exposure prophylactic treatment for a person bitten by an animal that cannot be monitored is painful, expensive, and involves up to four weeks of vaccinations; and
WHEREAS, Dr. Joseph Nebzydoski, owner of Youngsville Veterinary Clinic, has consistently and reliably supported the Disease Surveillance and Investigations Rabies Prevention Program by taking in potentially rabid bats, wildlife and domesticated animals, and furthermore humanely euthanizing, prepping and shipping them to the state laboratory for rabies testing, thus saving the County thousands of dollars in rabies post exposure vaccination costs; and
WHEREAS, Dr. Joseph Nebzydoski, has vaccinated hundreds (if not thousands) of pets at Sullivan County Department of Public Health Rabies Vaccination Clinics; and
WHEREAS, Dr. Joseph Nebzydoski has worked above and beyond to aide in the testing of potentially rabid animals and preventing the spread of rabies within the domestic animal population; and
WHEREAS, without testing a potentially rabid animal or vector borne species, an exposed person would need to receive post exposure prophylactic treatment; and
WHEREAS, without being up to date on rabies vaccines, the domesticated animals of Sullivan County could be at risk of contracting rabies; and
NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED, that the Sullivan County Public Health and the Legislature wishes to recognize, thank and honor Dr. Joseph Nebzydoski for his outstanding commitment, reliability and dedication to animal health and public safety in Sullivan County
