Olmsted County hosts annual rabies vaccination clinic

Olmsted County Public Health Services (OCPHS) announces its 67th annual rabies vaccination clinic, scheduled for Wednesday, June 11, 2025. This important event, held in collaboration with local veterinarians, is an opportunity to protect our pets, families, and community from the threat of rabies. 

Rabies, a viral disease primarily transmitted through the bites of infected animals, poses a significant risk to both animal and human health. Common carriers include wild animals such as skunks, bats, and raccoons. Pet owners should ensure their animals receive their rabies vaccines to prevent the disease from spreading. 

“Pet owners have a significant responsibility in ensuring the health and safety of their beloved companions and the broader community,” said OCPHS Sanitarian Megan West. “We encourage everyone to take advantage of the clinic to protect their animals—and their neighbors—from rabies.”
