Rabies Vaccination Week Expands Across Mexico With Free Pet Clinics

Health teams link pet shots to mosquito control to cut disease risk.

Overview

  • Public health agencies are running fixed posts, mobile crews, and door-to-door visits to vaccinate dogs and cats at no cost as the national drive continues.
  • In Michoacán, the state health department stocked 350,000 doses and opened stations in 364 health centers, with staff giving owners proof-of-vaccination certificates.
  • Tlaxcala set a goal of 388,501 shots in this March phase toward 431,666 for 2026, with clinics in IMSS-Bienestar centers, city halls, and mobile modules operating from 9 a.m. to 2 p.m.
  • Nuevo León reported no dengue cases so far this year compared with 28 at the same point in 2025, as it steps up home nebulization and larval checks alongside the pet campaign.
  • Local plans include rotating sites in Tizimín that can deliver up to 200 doses per module, weather-dependent neighborhood posts in Palpalá with leash and carrier rules, and a Salta event that combines adoption, rabies shots, and deworming.
