dogs and cats for protection against the rabies outbreak that has struck the area in the past two months.
Between 140 and 150 animals were vaccinated, approximately three-fifths of them dogs, according to Jack Lockhart of the Rappahannock Health Department. Health officials, in cooperation with local veterinarians and county government, scheduled this week’s clinic in Washington following a similar mass immunization program two weeks ago in neighboring Fauquier County that saw 272 cats and 254 dogs vaccinated.
The clinic here was prompted by the fourth incident of rabies in two months. Since May, two cats and a skunk in the Warrenton area and a fox in the Amissville vicinity have been confirmed as having the disease.
On Monday, the Rappahannock supervisors approved purchasing rabies vaccine at 64 cents a dose, their contribution to the immunization effort. Charge for the vaccinations was $4 per animaL
Initially, the clinic at the firehouse was scheduled to begin with cats from 6 p.m.
