Todos los gatos recibirán una vacuna antirrábica de 1 año. Los perros con una vacuna actual contra la rabia son elegibles para una vacuna contra la rabia de 3 años. Si solicita una vacuna antirrábica de 3 años para su perro, debe traer una copia del certificado antirrábico actual de su perro (no la etiqueta antirrábica) a la clínica. Los perros deben tener más de 5 meses para recibir la vacuna contra el moquillo.
Una vez que se haya registrado, la AWLA se comunicará con usted por correo electrónico para completar la documentación de registro previo a su cita en la clínica. El pago puede realizarse en efectivo, cheque o tarjeta de crédito el día del evento. Si tiene preguntas, envíe un correo electrónico a community@alexandriaanimals.org.
La ley de Virginia requiere que todos los perros y gatos de cuatro meses de edad o más tengan una vacuna contra la rabia vigente. Los residentes de la ciudad de Alexandria también deben obtener una licencia para perros y gatos de cuatro meses de edad o más. Puede encontrar información sobre licencias en https://alexandriaanimals.org/licensing-your-pet/.
