During the clinic, rabies vaccinations will be available at no cost, but supplies are limited and will be distributed on a first-come, first-served basis. Early arrival is recommended to secure a vaccination.
To participate in the event, pet owners must adhere to specific guidelines. Pets should be at least 12 weeks old to receive a vaccination. Dogs must remain on leashes, and cats should be secured in carriers. Additionally, pet owners wishing to receive a three-year rabies vaccine must provide proof of prior vaccination; otherwise, a one-year vaccine will be administered.
This event offers a valuable opportunity for pet owners to ensure their pets are up-to-date on vaccinations, significantly contributing to community health. For further information, residents can contact the Norfolk Department of Public Health at 757-435-9589.
