MERIDA Yucatan (Times Media Mexico) – Mayor Renan Barrera Concha announced a free rabies vaccination campaign for dogs and cats, to be held for three consecutive Sundays.

In a bulletin, the mayor explained that these actions are to prevent diseases transmissible from animals to humans, which results in greater welfare for the population.

He pointed out that the campaign is carried out through the sub-directorate of Health, belonging to the Directorate of Social Welfare, and the aim is to protect pets and at the same time avoid possible cases of rabies in the municipality.

Barrera stressed the importance of implementing actions that privilege the well-being of the population and their pets. “The City Council is always looking for new programs to strengthen the public health of the municipality, which pays for the construction of La Merida de 10,” he added. “It is everyone’s responsibility to take care of the Health of the pets because it guarantees the well-being of the families by living with healthy animals”.

He stressed that the City Council meets its commitment to making available to the entire population the free vaccination service for dogs and cats.
