Holon Announces Home Rabies Vaccinations for Residents Who Struggle to Reach Clinic

Holon Municipality has announced that eligible residents will be able to have their dogs vaccinated against rabies at home from December 2026. A veterinarian acting on behalf of the municipality will make the visits, offering an alternative for residents who have difficulty getting to the municipal veterinary clinic. The service is intended for residents aged 80 and above, ill residents confined to their homes, people suffering from combat trauma, and blind residents or people with impaired vision who use guide dogs. The municipality described the initiative as a way to help these residents meet the requirement to vaccinate their dogs while reducing the difficulty of traveling to the clinic. Mayor Shai Keinan said, "Service to residents is also measured by our ability to reach those who need us." The home visits will cover rabies vaccination only; other veterinary treatments are excluded from the service. Residents seeking a home visit must arrange payment in advance and provide documentation establishing their eligibility. Applications are to be submitted through the municipal registration form. The municipal veterinary office can be reached on 03-5027139 for inquiries about the new service.
