EASTON, MARYLAND — The Talbot County Health Department will hold a drive-thru rabies vaccination clinic for pets from 1 to 3 p.m. Saturday, Nov. 7, at its office at 510 Cadmus Lane in Easton.
The shot costs $6 per pet and is limited to cats, dogs and ferrets, according to the department's flyer. Payment must be made with cash or check. No other forms of payment will be accepted.
Owners stay in their vehicles for the clinic. Dogs must be on a leash, and cats and ferrets must be in a carrier. Pets must be at least 12 weeks old to receive the vaccine.
Maryland law requires anyone who owns or keeps a dog, cat or ferret 4 months old or older to have it vaccinated against rabies, under Section 18-318 of the state's Health-General Article.
The clinic is sponsored by the health department's Office of Environmental Health. Owners can pre-register a pet by calling 410-770-6880 or through a QR code on the department's flyer.
