"Eastwood to Host Free Pet Rabies Vaccination Clinic Following Rabid Fox Incident"
In response to a recent rabid fox incident in Syracuse, New York, a free rabies vaccination clinic for pets will be held in Eastwood. Six people have been identified as having come into contact with the fox and have been evaluated and treated accordingly. The clinic, which is open to dogs, cats, and ferrets, will take place on Thursday at the Frank DeFrancisco Eastwood Community Center. Pet owners can sign up on the Onondaga County Health Department's website or call for more information. Vaccinations are required by law for all pets, with puppies and kittens needing a booster shot at one year old and every three years thereafter.
