Rabies Vaccination Clinic

The Cayman Islands has enjoyed a rabies-free disease status for many decades. The Department of Agriculture’s Veterinarians are licensed to administer rabies vaccines to dogs and cats travelling out of the Cayman Islands based on the requirements of the importing country. Due to our national rabies-free status, a current rabies vaccine is also required for pets re-entering the Cayman Islands.
