Between Sept. 28 and Oct. 2, Minneapolis residents who have or buy a current pet license can get a free rabies vaccination for their pets in honor of World Rabies Day Sept. 28. Sign up for an appointment using this form or by calling 311 or 612-673-6222.
World Rabies Day is a global health observance started in 2007 to raise awareness about rabies and enhance prevention and control efforts worldwide. The theme for World Rabies Day 2020 is “Rabies: Vaccinate to Eliminate.” While rabies is a 100% preventable disease, more than 59,000 people die from the disease around the world each year – 95% of them from an unvaccinated pet. World Rabies Day is an opportunity to reflect on efforts to control this deadly disease and a reminder that the fight is not yet over.
