Worcester County has scheduled four rabies vaccination clinics for April – June.

Rabies vaccination clinics will be held at:

Worcester County Animal Control Shelter, 6207 Timmons Rd. in Snow Hill:

• April 20: 5:30-7 p.m.
• May 19: 6-7:30 p.m.
• June 15: 6-7:30 p.m.

 Bishopville Volunteer Fire Department, 10709 Bishopville Rd. in Bishopville:

• May 18: 6-7:30 p.m.

The cost for a rabies vaccination is $5 per pet for Worcester County residents and $10 per pet for non-Worcester County residents. Proof of residency or address is required. This proof may be in the form of a driver’s license, utility bill or previous vaccination certificate showing the owner’s name and current Worcester County address.   

To receive a vaccination, each dog must be on a leash under the control of an adult. Cats and ferrets must be in carriers or boxes with air holes.

If this is not the pet’s first rabies vaccination, bring the previous vaccination certificate so your pet may receive a three-year booster shot. Otherwise, the shot will expire in one year.  

Please report all animal bites or other pet exposures to wild animals to the Worcester County Health Department at 410-352-3234 or 410-641-9559. If an incident occurs after normal business hours, contact your local law enforcement or the Worcester County Sheriff’s Office.
