Aerial distribution of rabies vaccine baits starting on south-eastern border
(Updated 13.9.2024)
The Finnish Food Authority will begin aerial distribution of rabies bait vaccines along the south-eastern border on 13 September 2024. The aerial spreading will continue for about one month from the start date. The goal of these air drops is to prevent rabies occurring in animals in the wild from spreading to Finland. Finland has been officially free of rabies since 1991.
Siikalahti Nature Reserve is located in the bait vaccination area. Avoid touching bait vaccines in the field.
