Low-Cost Rabies Immunization Clinics
The rabies immunization clinics are sponsored by Franklin County Public Health and the Columbus Academy of Veterinary Medicine. We would like to thank our other partners that make these clinics possible.
All dogs and cats in Franklin County are required to be vaccinated against rabies and are required to wear their rabies tag.
Rabies is a virus that attacks the nerves and brain tissue of most animals. Learn more here.

Five important things to know before and after your pet is vaccinated:
- This is a low-cost clinic that does not include a physical examination of the animal;
- Before the veterinarian administers the vaccine you will need to notify the veterinary staff if your pet has had a previous vaccine reaction;
- Before leaving the vaccination clinic, notify the veterinary staff if your pet has trouble breathing, vomits, has diarrhea, begins to scratch excessively or develops any change in behavior that concerns you;
- The veterinary staff reserves the right not to vaccinated any animal in the event that the animals does not appear to be in good health or for medical reasons cannot receive a vaccine at this time;
- If your pet becomes sick after leaving the clinic, please contact your local veterinarian for help.
