The rabies vaccination campaign for dogs and cats began on Monday (25) in the neighborhoods of Campo de Belem and Ponte. This action is coordinated by the Zoonoses Surveillance Unit (UVZ) and aims to reach all sites in the municipality.
About 50 teams of two vaccinators, made up of endemic disease control agents, visit each household to vaccinate all dogs and cats from three months of age, including healthy pregnant and lactating females.
“Today we leave the field. The best way to prevent this deadly disease is vaccination, which is why it is important that every citizen welcomes the vaccinator into his home and allows him to vaccinate his dog and cat. Promotes UVZ coordinator, Natanael Dos Reis.
“We take care of them as if they were our own children. “With his immunization, there is no need to worry about this disease.” Resident Jose de Ribamar says about the importance of rabies vaccination.
During a dealer visit, the owner must assist in containing the animal and provide it with an up-to-date vaccination card, which can be provided immediately if lost.
Fixed point for vaccination
The rabies vaccination campaign has already started at UVZ and is continuing immunization at its headquarters, from Monday to Friday. The body is located on María do Rosario Street, No. 2071, Campo de Belém, next to Cidade Judiciária.
