The City of Wichita is forming an ad hoc committee to review the schedule for rabies vaccinations, Interim Wichita City Manager Ed Flentje announced on Tuesday.
The committee will review the latest information on rabies prevention and control and make recommendations, said Kay Johnson, Director of Environmental Services.
Committee members will be announced at a later date.
“The committee will be primarily comprised of local veterinarians and public health officials,” Johnson said. “Rabies is a very serious issue and potentially fatal. We want to make sure that people and pets are protected.”
The committee recommendations will be provided to the City Manager as part of a broader and ongoing animal ordinance review. The ordinance review is scheduled to be presented to the Wichita City Council later this year.
For further questions, Johnson can be reached at kjohnson@wichita.gov or 268-8351.
