Madison County Health Department’s last 2024 Rabies Vaccination Clinic is October 26, 2024 from 10 AM to 1 PM at the Madison County Highway Garage, 139 North Court St, in Wampsville.
Clinics are outdoors and participants may drive or walk-thru with their pet(s). Appointments open 60 days before a clinic. To make an appointment for each pet online or call 315-366-2526 (Monday-Friday from 8:00 am-4:00 pm).
- Out-of-county residents are limited to four (4) household pets per clinic.
- Do not arrive more than 10 minutes early for your appointment time or you may be asked to wait.
- Pets MUST be properly restrained with a leash, collar, harness, cage, or pet carrier.
- Free to Madison County residents. A $7.00 per pet donation is appreciated to help defray clinic costs.
Proof of previous vaccination is required to qualify for a three-year certificate. Proof of previous vaccination may be shown at the clinic or submitted five days after the clinic by mail or fax. Participants will receive their pet’s rabies certificates by email.
Public health law requires all dogs, cats, and ferrets to be vaccinated by 4 months of age. A second vaccination must be given within one year of the first, and pets must be actively immunized against rabies after that. This typically requires a booster vaccination every three years for dogs and cats, and annually for ferrets.
Pet owners who have an unvaccinated pet that comes in contact with a rabid or suspected rabid animal must choose to either euthanize the pet or place the unvaccinated pet into quarantine for 45 days to six months at the owner’s expense per current public health law. Avoid making this decision by ensuring your dog, cat, or ferret is current on its rabies vaccination.
