PRINCE FREDERICK, Md. – March 25, 2019 – The Calvert County Department of Public Safety, Animal Control Division, and the Calvert County Health Department are sponsoring a rabies clinic to offer free rabies vaccinations for county pets. The clinic will be held Saturday, April 6, 10 a.m. to noon at Huntingtown High School, located at 4125 N. Solomons Island Road.
