Miami-Dade to Fight Rabies With Vaccination Packets

Miami-Dade is hoping a new vaccination effort will reduce cases of rabies in the county. Officials announced the new plan on Thursday that will place some 270,000 rabies vaccine bait packets across the county for wildlife to consume. The packets are coated with “fishmeal attractant” that is appetizing for raccoons, foxes and coyotes, and are about the size of a ketchup packet.
