The Florida Department of Health in Flagler County is issuing a rabies alert for Bunnell and the Korona community. This is in response to a raccoon that tested positive on February 9 after attacking a dog. The dog was up to date on its shots and is OK; the raccoon is dead.
All residents and visitors in Flagler County should be aware that rabies is present in the wild animal population and domestic animals are at risk if not vaccinated. The public is asked to maintain a heightened awareness that rabies is active in parts of southern Flagler County. Alerts are designed to increase awareness to the public, but they should not get a false sense of security to areas that have not been named as under an alert. The last rabies alert the Flagler Health Department issued was in February 2010.
