Free Rabies vaccination: Hurry!

Free Rabies vaccination: Hurry!

There is less than a hour left to make use of  the Free State Department of Agriculture and Rural Development’s (Veterinary Services) rabies vaccination campaign held today, Monday 28 September in Parys. The campaign forms part of the World Free Rabies Vaccination project. Dogs must be on leashes and cats in bags/cages. Owners must wear masks and adhere to social distancing. Vaccination will be done  till 15:30 at the following campaign stations:

* Open space outside the Mimosa Gardens.

* Schonkenville Hall * NG Parys-Oos in Paulsen Street

* NG Parys Wes in Kort Street

* NG Parys Suid in Delver Street.

Remember, the only way to protect your cat or dog from contracting rabies is through vaccination. The first rabies vaccination is given at three months, followed by a booster, one to nine months later. Most veterinarians recommend a yearly rabies booster.
