Each month, MCHD’s Rabies Officer provides residents with low-cost vaccines for their pet dogs, cats, and ferrets at a variety of locations. The state of Alabama tasks local health departments with providing affordable rabies vaccinations to pet owners. MCHD’s Rabies Officer provided 270 vaccinations (165 dogs, 105 cats) during January.
Rabies is a virus that attacks the central nervous system. It is transmitted from infected mammals to humans and is fatal once symptoms appear. Symptoms of rabies include unusual behavior, irritability, headache, fever, inability to eat or drink, balance problems, circling, seizures, coma, and, finally, death. All warm-blooded mammals, including humans, are susceptible to rabies.
MCHD’s Rabies Officer vaccinated 3,261 household pets (2,585 dogs, 675 cats and 1 ferret) in 2025. To learn more about our program, visit https://mchd.org/disease-control/#rabies.
