Get Your Daengdaengi and Nyangnyangi Rabies Vaccinations This Spring

From the 15th to the 30th in Gangseo-gu, Seoul, 'Spring Rabies Vaccination for Pets'... Vaccination available at 45 hospitals for registered dogs and cats over 3 months old... Only 5,000 KRW vaccination fee self-paid... Check district office website for details

[Asia Economy Reporter Jongil Park] Gangseo-gu, Seoul (Mayor Noh Hyun-song) announced that it will support the cost of rabies vaccination for pets from April 15 to 30 to prevent rabies during the spring season.

The purpose is to protect the health and safety of not only the residents but also their pets from rabies, which has a high fatality rate.

The vaccination targets are registered pets aged 3 months or older, including dogs and cats.

If you visit one of the 45 designated animal hospitals in Gangseo-gu, you can receive the vaccination at a discounted price.

Normally, the vaccination cost is 25,000 KRW, but during this period, the cost of the vaccine is supported, so pet owners only need to pay a 5,000 KRW vaccination procedure fee. However, since vaccinations are on a first-come, first-served basis and may close early, it is necessary to inquire at the target hospital in advance before visiting.

The list of 45 designated animal hospitals can be found on the Gangseo-gu Office website under ‘Notices/News’.

When getting vaccinated, to verify animal registration, if the pet is not an implanted registered animal, you must bring an external chip, an identification tag with the registration number, or an animal registration certificate.

A district official said, “We hope residents actively participate in rabies vaccination during this opportunity to prevent this highly fatal infectious disease,” and added, “We also ask that pet owners strictly observe pet etiquette that considers neighbors to help establish a mature pet culture.”
