The rabies vaccination campaign in the Brazilian municipality of Serra has expanded to additional neighborhoods, according to Serra Noticiário. The local news outlet reported the update on Wednesday, August 12, 2026, without specifying which areas were newly added.
The announcement is part of a broader municipal effort to immunize dogs and cats against rabies. Serra Noticiário did not provide details on the number of animals targeted or the duration of this phase of the campaign.
Rabies vaccination drives are common across Brazil, with many cities running similar programs throughout the year. In a related report, the government of Uberlândia said it was finishing its rural vaccination stage on Friday, August 14, and would begin the urban phase on August 22. Another outlet, G1, highlighted the importance of vaccinating pets against the disease, which is fatal once symptoms appear.
Other municipalities have also reported progress in 2026. Tribuna do Norte noted that Natal had vaccinated more than 44,000 dogs and cats so far this year. The Itabuna city government said its 2026 campaign would reach four neighborhoods on a Thursday, though the exact date was not included in the summary.
For residents in Serra, the key next step is to check the official schedule for when the mobile vaccination teams will visit their specific neighborhood. Serra Noticiário’s report suggests the campaign is ongoing, but it did not publish a full list of dates or locations in the material available.
