The City Veterinary Office targets to immunize 70 percent of the estimated 100,000 dog population here by October this year to achieve herd immunity and prevent the rabies outbreak. Dr. John Michael Cabuguason, the assistant city veterinarian, said on Monday that they are conducting mass dog vaccination for free in the barangays, but pet owners can bring their dogs to the CVO to get immunized for a minimal fee of PHP50. “Right now, our procurement is about 60,000 doses on a staggered basis.
“During the mass dog vaccination, our staff go house-to-house in the barangays. We allocate one day for each purok,” he added. Cabuguason encouraged pet owners who are still hesitant to have their dogs administered with the rabies vaccines to avail of the free mass vaccination. “We would like to assure them the vaccine we are using is safe. It is used worldwide. Globally, it is one of the top vaccines. It will not cause illness in dogs,” he said.
