Incheon Distributes Over 1,900 Rabies Vaccines 

Incheon is conducting a large-scale distribution of rabies vaccines to prevent rabies through wild animals. 

Incheon announced that it will drop over 1,900 vaccines at 29 locations, including areas with sightings of wild animals such as raccoons and badgers, as well as areas with complaints, based on a prior demand survey. 

The vaccines have been proven safe for pets; however, if a person touches them, the scent of vaccines may deter wild animals from consuming, and occasionally, they may cause itching or other reactions.
