Animal Adoption Fair will have free rabies vaccination in Cabo Frio

According to the municipal superintendent of Animal Protection, veterinarian Fenela Assed, the action facilitates access to immunization and reinforces the importance of prevention. “This Saturday, we will once again combine protection, prevention and responsible adoption in one space, offering the population the opportunity to keep their dogs and cats protected and, at the same time, get to know our Kennel animals who are waiting for a family”, he stated. Vaccination Anti-rabies vaccination is part of the preparation for National Rabies Vaccination D-Day, scheduled for September 26th. From September, the campaign will be expanded to other neighborhoods in Cabo Frio. The dates and locations will be announced later by the Department of Health. The vaccine is one of the main forms of prevention against rabies, a disease that can affect mammals, including dogs, cats and humans, and has a high lethality. Annual immunization helps protect animals and also contributes to the prevention of disease in public health. For this Saturday's vaccination, cats must be transported in appropriate boxes. Aggressive dogs need to be muzzled. Animals under three months of age, pregnant females or weakened animals should not receive the vaccine. More than 230 animals were vaccinated in the first edition.
