harlem-the-husky-dog-picture-1-54dd3230c7326d44d000001f Tomorrow, the Health Department and the Animal Care Centers of NYC will be providing free rabies vaccinations to the City’s dogs and cats. This free event was made possible through a partnership with New York City Council Speaker Melissa Mark-Viverito, New York State Senator Jose M. Serrano, Mayor’s Alliance for NYC’s Animals, and Corsi Senior Center.

To participate, animals must be healthy and at least 3 months old. New York City requires that all puppies and kittens get their first rabies shot between 3 and 4 months of age. They also need to get a booster shot one year later and then again every 1 to 4 years.

The Health Department will also be providing on-the-spot licensing for dogs. Dog licensing is a legal requirement in New York City. Dog owners will not be cited for violations if they do not have a current license for their pet. The $2 late fee for renewing an expired license will be waived on this day. DOHMH staff will be on hand to answer any questions.
