PVO intensifies anti-rabies campaign

ORION, Bataan – The Provincial Veterinarian Office (PVO) conducted free anti-rabies injection, castration, and check-up among dogs in Brgy. Kapunitan of this town yesterday, March 8 at the Barangay hall and in the residents’ houses.

For four consecutive years, Bataan managed to be rabies-free, but said record was broken last year, with three (3) cases of death due to rabies: two in Abucay and one in Hermosa.

Not wanting a similar case to occur, the Provincial Government of Bataan (PGB) through the PVO tightened its anti-rabies campaign this year so as to reclaim its “rabies-free province” record. PVO’s services will be stretched out specifically in far-flung places in Bataan as identified by Gov. Abet Garcia.
