Services Offered During the event, pet owners can bring their dogs and cats to receive free anti-rabies vaccinations.

Their ongoing commitment to rabies prevention is a cornerstone of public health efforts in General Trias. The Benefits of Vaccination Vaccination is one of the most effective ways to prevent rabies, not only for individual pets but for the entire community. How Vaccination Protects Your Pets A rabies vaccine stimulates your pet’s immune system to produce antibodies against the rabies virus, providing long-term protection. Regular vaccination ensures that your pets are protected throughout their lives. Protecting the Community When a significant percentage of pets in a community are vaccinated, the overall risk of rabies decreases. This “herd immunity” effect helps protect vulnerable individuals, such as young children or elderly residents, who may be more susceptible to the disease. The Long-Term Impact of Regular Vaccination Programs Regular vaccination drives create a culture of preventive care within the community. Over time, this reduces the prevalence of rabies and other preventable diseases, leading to a healthier, safer environment for everyone.
