NOM-011-SSA2 (Rabies Control): Who Qualifies and What You Get

This scheme provides free annual rabies vaccinations to help protect the pet population and public health through organized government campaigns.

👤Who it's for

This program is designed for the general public and is available to all dog and cat owners. Whether you are a pet sitter managing multiple animals or a private owner, anyone with a dog or a cat is eligible to participate in these health initiatives to ensure their pets remain safe.

🎁What you get

Participants can access free annual rabies vaccination campaigns. These campaigns are specifically organized by the Secretaría de Salud to provide the necessary Vacuna antirrábica (rabies vaccine) to pets. By participating in these scheduled events, you receive the medical preventative needed to help control the spread of rabies within the community.

💰What it costs you

There is no financial cost to you when you participate during the official government vaccination campaigns. The service is provided for free to pet owners as part of the public health strategy to manage animal-borne diseases.

⚠️The catch to know

The most important thing to remember is that you must keep the vaccination tag that is issued to you. This tag serves as your official proof of compliance with the health standards. Losing this tag could make it difficult to prove your pet has received the required vaccinations if you are ever asked for documentation.

📝How to apply

1. Keep an eye on local community announcements to find out when the next vaccination campaign is scheduled in your area.
2. Locate the designated vaccination sites set up by the health authorities for the current campaign.
3. Bring your dog or cat to the site during the official campaign hours.
4. Ensure your pet is safely secured for the appointment to allow the health workers to administer the vaccine.
5. Collect and store the vaccination tag provided by the officials to keep as your permanent record of compliance.
