Anti-rabies inoculation drive in fishing ports
The Agriculture and Fisheries Department (AFD) will launch a half-yearly dog inoculation drive in fishing ports later this week so that fishermen can have their dogs immunised against rabies.
Starting from Tuesday (August 27), AFD's mobile dog inoculation teams will go to the territory's fishing ports one after the other and make boat-to-boat visits between 10 am and 4 pm daily. The inoculation programme is as follows:
Port

10.9.96 11.9.96
Castle Peak Bay Sai Kung

The drive, a regular exercise since 1980, is intended to help fishermen who find little time to take their dogs to an inoculation centre or a government kennel for inoculation.
