About 400 dogs and 15 cats received rabies vaccine in the districts of Los Pozos and Las Minas, in the province of Herrera this week.

The measure was taken following an outbreak of paralytic bovine rabies in Cerro Gordo de Las Minas, reported Juan Marcelino Peralta, head of the Zoology Department of Public Health at the Herrera Regional Health Center.

Peralta pointed out that the vaccination program was decided upon after the death of livestock that had been bitten by vampire bats.
