The Public Health Department’s Disease Prevention and Control unit is providing vaccinations from 9.30-15.00 at Wat Chaimongkol, Wat Boonkanjanaram, Wat Boddhi Samphan, Wat Khao Pratamnak, Wat Khao Prabat Pattaya, Wat Nongchumhed Pattanaram, and Wat Maihad Krathingthong. For more information on exact dates, call city hall at 1337 (hotline) or 038-253-100 ext 113.
Disease-prevention office head Anya Jantragard has been working together with local radio stations, cable TV operations and print media to publicize the availability of the free rabies shots.
Disease-prevention office head Anya Jantragard said the campaign began in February at the Public Health Center and with mobile units dispatched to the Pattaya’s 42 neighborhoods. The final push began June 3.
Work to curtail rabies goes on all year, but extra effort is put in before the summer rainy season. The city hopes to inoculate at least 40 percent of Pattaya’s dogs and cats.
