In case you are hiking up North in the next couple of weeks…
A rabies quarantine and mass inoculation for the Flagstaff area begins today and goes through June 25. The Coconino County Health Department officials want to vaccinate the fox and skunk population in the greater Flagstaff area. Over 129,000 packets targeting gray foxes will be dispersed by aircraft covering a 1,400 square mile area. Hand distribution of bait packets in populated areas will begin on Wednesday. On June 25, a trap, vaccinate and release program directed at the skunk population begins.
