The following information came from the Watertown Health Department:
The Town of Watertown is pleased to announce the 2019 Rabies Vaccination Clinic. This annual program provides Watertown residents the opportunity to vaccinate their pets from the fatal disease.
Rabies is a viral disease that causes inflammation of the brain in mammals, and is often transmitted through the bite of rabid animal. Massachusetts state law requires that all domesticated dogs and cat over six months of age receive the rabies vaccination.
This clinic will be held on Saturday, April 20, 2019 at the Watertown Administration Building, lower Level, 149 Main Street, Watertown. Cat in carriers will be vaccinated between 1:00 p.m. and 2:00 p.m. and dogs on leash will be vaccinated between 2:00 p.m. and 3:00 p.m.
The vaccination fee is $10.00. Acceptable forms of payment are cash, check or money order payable to “Town of Watertown.” Pet owners who want their pets to receive a 3-year vaccine must come to the clinic with proof of valid rabies certificate. Animals three months or older who have never received the vaccine will be eligible for a 1-year rabies vaccine.
This event is being sponsored by the Health Department’s Animal Control Officer and the Watertown Animal Hospital. Please contact the Watertown Health Department at 617-972-6446 with any questions.
