Cavite City Health Office launches Anti-Rabies Campaign

CAVITE CITY: In celebration of Rabies Awareness Month, the local government here under Mayor Denver Chua and the City Veterinary Office renewed their commitment to end the rabies disease through a campaign to increase awareness about rabies prevention with this year's theme 'Rabies-free pets can lead to a safer community.' The city launched an anti-rabies mass vaccination program for 84 villages which started in Barangay 41 on March 3. Mayor Chua encouraged residents to bring their pets to their respective villages for the free anti-rabies vaccines. 'Let us coordinate with our village chiefs and staff so that our pet dogs and cats can be given anti-rabies vaccines from our City Veterinary Office,' the mayor said.
