FAVN results are valid for 1 year from the sampling date (blood drawn date) to the date of arrival in China.
However, there is an exception - If results are more than one year from date of arrival, then there cannot be a lapse in rabies vaccinations since the sampling date and all rabies vaccination after the sampling date included on the International Health Certificate. The system will automatically identify if additional rabies vaccinations will be required based on the FAVN sample date and will check for any rabies vaccinations that have a lapse. See the decision tree below.
