Kelapa Gading Sub-district Food Tenacity, Maritime and Agriculture Implementer Unit Head, Paina, said the vaccination was already given since May 6-8 at RPTRA and several RW offices. This program is held to maintain Jakarta's status as free-rabies city.

He continued that similar program will be held again at RW 18 and 19 offices on Monday, May 13, 2024.

The requirements for pets that can be vaccinated against rabies are at least four months old, in good health, not pregnant and not breastfeeding.
