Bat in Santa Cruz County tests positive for rabies
Briefly

According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, immediate medical attention coming in the form of post-exposure prophylaxis is required after a suspected rabies exposure.
California law requires that dogs be vaccinated against rabies, but it remains critical that cats and other household pets susceptible to rabies receive the vaccine and subsequent boosters.
The county recommends pet owners contact their veterinarian to find out if vaccination is recommended for their pet or to confirm vaccination status.
Local residents are encouraged to avoid contact with wildlife by refraining from handling, feeding or attracting animals to come into close range.
