Oral Rabies Vaccination to be Distributed

Due to an increasing concern over rabies, Broward County will be distributing the Oral Rabies Vaccine throughout the county. The three methods to be used will be by hand on the ground, by helicopter and by boat for certain waterways. Hand baiting will be during the week of March 9 through March 13. By Helicopter, in more open, unpopulated or rural areas (including natural areas, regional parks and state parks), will start about 2 week thereafter.

A hot line is available for residents to call if they have any questions or concerns. The number is 954-831-4000.
