Rabies Alert in Boston as 5 Raccoons Test Positive
Five raccoons in Boston have tested positive for rabies, prompting city officials to offer free rabies vaccination clinics for pets next month. The raccoons were found in various neighborhoods, and there have been no reports of rabies exposure or injuries in humans. Officials are urging residents to remain vigilant around wild animals and to report any strange or sick behavior. They also provided tips for keeping pets safe, such as keeping them up to date on their rabies vaccinations and seeking medical care if they are bitten or scratched by a potentially rabid animal. Two free vaccination clinics will be held in September.
