The Halifax County Health Department and Lake Country Animal Hospital will host a rabies clinic December 7 from 9 a.m. to 11 a.m. at the Roanoke Valley Farmers Market on Highway 158 in Roanoke Rapids.

A fee of $5 per animal vaccinated is required to cover the cost of the vaccine and supplies.

Owners should make sure their pets are adequately restrained when bringing them to the clinic.

Proof of a current rabies vaccination is required to receive a three-year vaccination.

It is against the law to have a pet not properly vaccinated against rabies. 

The Halifax County Public Health System will also be offering low cost spay/neuter clinics at various times throughout the year.
