Pet vaccination free of charge

JAKARTA (JP): Dogs, cats, monkeys and other pets are welcome
to receive free rabies vaccine shots from the city's animal
husbandry agency and its mayoralty offices.

The free services, provided from Sept. 1 to Nov. 30, are also
available at the Veterinary Hospital on Jl. Harsono RM 28 in
Ragunan, Pasar Minggu; the Animal Health Station at Pondok
Ranggon, Jl. Kramat Bacang in East Jakarta and other authorized
locations.

A press release issued yesterday from the animal husbandry
agency on Jl. Gunung Sahari 11 in Central Jakarta said the free
vaccinations are part of a national effort to ensure that
Sulawesi, Kalimantan, Sumatra and Java are free of rabies by the
year 2000.

The agency urged the public to inform the agency's mayoralty
offices of stray animals so they could also be provided with
vaccinations. (anr)
