Published Galveston County Daily News 05/03/03

La Marque – Rabies vaccinations will be the subject for a Public Hearing of the Galveston County United Board of Health on June 25th. The State of Texas now allows 3 year rabies vaccinations. Historically pet owners in Texas have been required to immunize pets against rabies on a yearly basis.

The District’s Animal Shelter Advisory Committee has recommended that the Board of Health accept the 3 year interval for rabies vaccinations as approved by the Texas Department of Health.

The Public Hearing will be conducted at District offices located in La Marque at 1207 Oak Street beginning at 6 P.M. Interested citizens are encouraged to attend and submit comments.
