Sec. 3-187. Antirabies clinics; vaccination certificates; coordination with pet licensing requirements

Antirabies clinics will be operated by the Health Department. The Health Department is authorized to charge such reasonable fees as may be necessary to defray the actual costs of such service.

Any person administering rabies vaccination shall complete a Health Department vaccination certificate of rabies immunization on all animals immunized and shall furnish copies of the certificate to the Administrator of the Animal Services Division within sixty (60) days of the vaccination.

When a dog, cat, or ferret is presented to the Health Department for immunization at an antirabies clinic, personnel of the Animal Control Program shall ascertain whether the animal is licensed under this Subtitle. If the animal is unlicensed, the Administrator shall provide the owner with an application for the appropriate license.
