April 7 through the 15th, when you look up, expect to see more fixed-wing and helicopters in Northwest Georgia. The annual USDA rabies vaccine drop for wildlife will be in progress. This annual program, particularly targeting racoons, is an important protection method for keeping rabies rates low. If you encounter the well-labeled packets, know this: They are safe for pets and should be left alone. However, it is also important to know that your family’s pets still need an annual rabies vaccine.
