Free Drive-Thru Rabies Vaccination for Pets in Schenectady County on June 8

Schenectady County has scheduled a free rabies vaccination clinic for pets, including cats, ferrets, and dogs. The clinic will take place on June 8, 2024, at the Glenville Senior Citizens Center and is only available to county residents. The goal is to provide easy access to rabies vaccinations to ensure the health of pets and the community.

The clinic will use a drive-thru system to minimize contact and speed up the process. Owners must restrain their pets, with cats and ferrets in carriers and dogs on leashes. This approach helps reduce stress for the animals and shortens wait times for owners.

In 2023, the county vaccinated 436 dogs and 236 cats at four similar events. An electronic registration system has improved the efficiency of these clinics. Owners need to register online before the event and provide their pets' details to help prepare the necessary vaccination certificates.

County Legislator Omar McGill stated that these clinics are crucial in the county's efforts to prevent rabies and protect the community. The clinics are held throughout the year to ensure everyone has access to these services.
