Explanation

BACKGROUND: Columbus Public Health, in partnership with area veterinarians and technicians, will be offering Columbus residents access to low-cost rabies vaccinations for their pets. Individual veterinarians and technicians that participate in Columbus Public Health's Animal Response Team, have agreed to donate their time to these special clinics so that the charges for services can be set at a minimal rate such that the fees generated will be sufficient to purchase replacement vaccine for the following clinic.
