CHAUTAUQUA, N.Y. — The Chautauqua County Health Department will be hosting a free rabies vaccination clinic on Saturday, June 8 from 10 a.m. to noon. The clinic will be located at the Town of Westfield Highway Building.
People who plan on attending with their pets must be pre-registered to get vaccines. All vaccines will be free and offered to dogs, cats, and domesticated ferrets three months of age and older.
According to the CCHD, "At the clinics, vehicles will enter and follow the established traffic pattern on-site. Pet owners will stay in their vehicles with their pets, unless otherwise instructed. Pet owners must bring previous rabies vaccination records for each animal receiving a shot to ensure proper and effective vaccination; clinic staff will confirm previous rabies vaccination records. All dogs must be on a leash. All cats must be in individual carriers. Animal handlers will transport animals from the vehicle to the veterinarian for vaccination."
New York State Public Health Law requires each dog, cat, and domesticated ferret over the age of four months be vaccinated against rabies. County residents are encouraged to be responsible pet owners by having their pets vaccinated.
