Rabies clinic offered again this year

Rabies, a viral disease that infects the central nervous system causing encephalopathy and death, is most often transmitted through the bite of a rabid animal.

Rabies is mainly spread through wild animals like racoons, skunks, bats, and foxes and is a very real threat in the area

In order to avoid any unnecessary pain for pets or their owners the East Ferris Fire Department is sponsoring a spring vaccination clinic in April.

The 1st clinic will be located at the Corbiel Fire Hall on Tuesday April 29th from 4pm until 7pm.

A second clinic will be held at the Astorville Fire Hall on Thursday May 1 also from 4pm until 7pm.

The cost is $15.00 per animal.

The clinics will be under the direction of Deputy Fire Chief Steve Trahan
