Want to be a Rabies Hero? Join us!
Join us by partnering up with Rabies Free Africa for their Rabies Hero campaign for World Rabies Day 2020.
We are encouraging veterinary professionals to host vaccination clinics to prevent outbreaks of diseases like parvovirus, distemper, and most importantly rabies. Beyond preventing outbreaks, hosting clinics will give your hospital the chance to increase business and help people in your community who may be struggling with financial hardship. We want to help people keep their pets and not relinquish them to shelters as we know this is good for the animals, owners and community.
Here are suggestions for hosting a clinic and generating revenue.
-
For multi-doctor practices, consider having one veterinarian focus their time on the Rabies Hero vaccination clinic. That will allow the other clinician to continue to see the same cases as before. If 15-minute appointments are offered, consider having the clinician that is doing routine work focus on longer procedures, like dentals, since there will already be a large volume of clients entering and exiting the clinic.
-
For single doctor practices, or those that do not want to offer the clinic while normal operations are running, the hospital can focus the whole day/weekend on a vaccine clinic. Consider offering a set number of free or reduced cost vaccines. Offer other needed vaccines while the pet is at the appointment for the normal cost.
Veterinary hospitals should adhere to all state and local guidelines for social distancing, wearing personal protective equipment and other recommendations to limit the transmission of COVID-19.
