There will be another round of free rabies vaccination for dogs which will be held this weekend (Oct 13 and 14) at three locations in Miri.

Piasau State Assemblyman, Datuk Sebastian Ting said the mass vaccination campaign starts from 9am to 4pm will be held at Lutong Shell basketball court, Taman Awam Miri Bumiko, and Taman Bulatan Miri in Piasau Jaya.

The vaccination exercise, he added, is for dogs but those with other pets can bring them to the Miri Veterinary Services Department clinic at Pelita Commercial Centre. The clinic is open Monday to Friday from 8.30am to 4.30pm, and can be contacted on 085-411866.

Ting said since Miri had been identified as a rabies infected area, it is important for all to help weed out the rabies with co-operation and understanding from all Miriams.

He stated that it is good no human cases of rabies reported and he hoped there will be none. So far, a total of about 3,000 dogs had been vaccinated since then.
