The second campaign to vaccinate foxes against rabies by air and by manual distribution of baits will take place until end-November. The National Food Safety Agency warns the population that the vaccine is not intended for domestic animals, IPN reports.

When baits are distributed from plane, the GPS system is used for correct orientation. The baits will be placed at the entrance to lairs and on the paths of foxes, near lairs. During two weeks after the distribution of baits, the free movement of dogs and cats in the area is banned as these animals can eat the baits. Hunting in those regions is banned for a period of 14 days.

The first vaccination of foxes against rabies was carried out during July 9-13. The program is supported by Romania and is co-financed by the European Union.
