Largest Rabies Vaccination Campaign In State History Continues On Cape Cod

A multi-state effort on Cape Cod to vaccinate raccoons and other wildlife continues this week.

These efforts began back in July, but this fall, out of an abundance of caution, they're continuing, with officials distributing hundreds of thousands of rabies vaccine doses on the ground and by helicopter.

It is now the largest rabies inoculation effort in state history.

We hear more about this effort from Brian Bjorklund, a wildlife and rabies biologist, and Cape Cod Rabies Program Coordinator with the USDA.
