LUCENA CITY, Quezon- There is no denying the large number of rabies cases in the city of Lucena and government is doing something about it. DILG director Teodorica Vizcarra urged the city government to create an  anti-rabies control coordinating council that will supervise and coordinate the implementation of anti-rabies program in this city.
LUCENA CITY, Quezon — About 12,000 public school teachers in this province gathered recently for a convention in this city during which Governor David C. Suarez handed awards under the theme “Education for Peace.


“Controlling the incidence of dog bites is the best solution to decrease rabies cases. Having a council that will supervise and implement anti-rabies program will lessen the burden of the veterinary office in the campaign of eliminating rabies cases," Vizacarra added.
Among those hailed as Most Outstanding Teachers of the Year in both elementary and high school levels were Buenaventura Luces, Kendrick Cabriga, Roberto Telada, Luz Garcia, Isidro Obmasca Jr., Herbert Perez, Basilisa Hernandez, Reynaldo Cacho, Wilbert Porteza, Arnold Arellano, Mylene Cosico, Gregorio Racelis and Merlita Natividad.
 
City veterinarian Dr. Winston Avillo admitted that they have no record of the total population of dogs in the city because only those who availed of the anti-rabies vaccination are registered in their office, thus stray dogs are excluded.
 
Councilor Amer Lacerna encouraged the city veterinary office to strengthen the information campaign on the prevention of dog bites and allocate additional doses of free vaccines. He said only one dose of anti-rabies vaccine is given free while the succeeding vaccines are charged.
 
According to the city health office, the supply of anti-rabies vaccines is not sufficient to the number of persons that are bitten by dogs, that’s why they just give free  dose of vaccine.
 
In response to this, the city health office has focused on the prevention of dog bites by conducting regular assembly in the barangays.
