FINAL Vaccinations Clinic For 2012

SNOW HILL –Pet owners, mark your calendars and take advantage of the inexpensive rabies vaccinations clinics offered this fall by the Worcester County Health Department and Animal Control. These will be the last clinics offered in 2012.

FINAL CLINIC For 2012

Wednesday, October 24: Worcester County Animal Control on Timmons Road in Snow Hill.
The cost for a rabies vaccination is $5 per pet for Worcester County residents and $10 per pet for non-Worcester County residents. Proof of residency is required.

Vaccinations are available for dogs, cats and ferrets. Below are additional requirements for the clinics:

If this is not the pet’s first rabies vaccination, written proof of the previous shot in the form of a rabies certificate must be provided in order to receive a three-year booster shot. Otherwise, a one-year shot will be given.

To receive a vaccination, dogs must be on a leash under the control of an adult, and cats and ferrets must be in a carrier or box with air holes.

Keeping pets’ required rabies vaccinations current is the best way to prevent the spread of rabies from the wild animal population to the domestic animal population.

For more information on the clinics or to report animal bites or possible rabies exposures to pets
from wild animals contact the Worcester County Health Department at 410-352-3234 or 410-641-9559.

If an incident occurs after normal business hours, contact your local law enforcement or the Worcester County Sheriff’s Office.
